Re: Back wiper staying on.

It could be the wiper relay. Is there anyone close to you with a rocco or even a Mk2 golf you can swap and test?

Re: Anyone used to own this?

Cant help but my old red GTII went to Ireland 3 years ago. It was then bought 6 months later by Eamon 1.3. Unfortunately its been sold on now.

Reg is H499 URR, would be nice to know where it is now.
