It wouldn't do you any harm to take a look at a recent thread in S40 /V40 '96-'04 : "variable intermitant wiper mod anyone?" by chug in Derby on 9/11/08, and the replies, including DavidMarron's which suggests an extra wiper Controller by Maplins [K2599 - Intermittent Wiper Controller]which is "ideal...for older cars" - rather than just replacing the relay. It gives intervals of 5, 10 & 15 seconds; I've emailed them suggesting adding (from zero) 1, 2, 3 & 4 seconds to increase the variability and make it suitable for different conditions. Jack Cluer may have been aware of it.
Cheaper than ipd too.

If you ask, they will post it for $27. Indeed they will post several together for that amount if the weight is <1lb.

BTW IPD say "that they fit all 200/700/900 series cars but some of the 900 cars have a different relay in them. Those that have the different relay have used this model but have simply broken off two of the locating tabs and installed it. If your car has the odd relay from the factory, you can, at your expense, purchase this and modify it accordingly but it will not be covered under our warranty."

Anyone want to go halves with me on postage, please PM me.
Thanks,
Ben
