Auto wipers do work...

[dmdigital]

... Even when you're two cars back from a fully loaded b-double cattle truck :o

Mine came on before the guy in front got his on.

Fortunately it was a number one from the truck.

Mine came on today too,not a cloud in the sky!!!!! Even if it was raining somewhere I was in an undercover carpark,they shouldnt have come on;);););)
Predictive Wipers????? As usful as predictive text on a mobile phone:p:p:p:p:p

Perhaps it is due to the Land Rovers empathetic soul.

It weeps.

When it sees the multitudes in pain for choosing the wrong vehicle.

When it senses forlorn pangs of regret.

When it knows that one of its own could have solved the problem.

It weeps.

Then the wipers only come on to hide its tears for the unknowing and unloved.

It appears they seem to be a weakness in LR the bloody auto wipers sometimes good other times you just wonder what the hell they are doing hahaha

I had the same sorts of problems until someone on this forum suggested turning the settings (the old intermittent wiper speed) down to minimum. Sorted out most of my problems. Service guy at LR said that the sensor on the windscreen must by clean. I always wondered if a light condensation forms and that's enough to set it off.

Mine normally works fine and has done for many years - but windscreen must be clean and I always use minimum setting as letherm says. One of my favorite lazy person features TBH.

Already discovered the clean windscreen bit. Got covered by bug splatter north of Bundy and had to turn them off until I could clean things. Will try the minimum intermittent setting too.

[Epic pooh]

I don't think mine has been moved off minimum setting in the life of the car !

Mine's only 13 days old today and I actually don't know what the intermittent setting is as I've only had it on off and auto.

When you have it on auto the intermittent setting adjusts how sensitive the settings are so you can wind it back and let more water on the screen before it wipes or wind it the other way and its super sensitive.

Are LRs like BMWs where a non auto wiper screen is $250 and an automatic wiper screen with sensor is $1100?

To me a most useless accessory if at some stage it costs an owner an arm and leg.

Not entirely sure as i haven't replaced one yet but i know that the genuine ones are quite expensive i hear. I just have them on insurance for an extra $50 a year very worth it.

I have my auto wipers off to protect the windscreen. The wipers can activates even when a bug hits the sensor area or one drop of moisture lands in the area and the rest of the windscreen is dry and can cause the windscreen to be scratched.

I had to replace my windscreen two years ago because of scratches caused by the wipers.

So mine stays off until the first major drops and it is then I switch to auto and leave it on auto while in the rainy area then back to off.

If you look at the wiper stalk you should see a section of it that you can twist to adjust the speed setting - think it says min/max. It's not the same as other intermittent time setting switches as it adjusts for car speed as well. You may notice this when driving as the wipers will speed up and slow down depending upon your speed if the rain is constant. It works quite well in general use apart from the problem with initiating when the screen seems dry.
