Anyway, if anyone still needs / wants one of these, I think I may have a few spares from when I used to sell them to the Vauxhall crowd a few years ago.
Should've guessed they would work on the Lotus though, as most of my customers were VX220 owners

The variable intermittent works by turning it on, then off, wait till the screen is almost too wet/blocked, then turn back on again. Hey presto it will then come on automatically at that same time interval until you switch it off or move to single speed slow or fast. Works anywhere between c3-5secs and c45secs.
Cost me £3 from a breaker and was my first mod after buying the car. No need to change the stalk at all, just the relay.
Give this thread a read from the beginning: very helpful: I was won over instantly.
Ian T wrote:Well... It is possible to fit the Omega wiper stalk with the variable delay control, but you need the grey relay and you're right, an extra wire between the stalk and the relay.
A friend of mine wrote a how to guide that I think was applicable to the mk2 astra, so that would also work for the Elan...

he's had it for 2 months, and i'll get it back when it's done! (not in any great hurry for it, and would rather he did it well in his own time, than rushed it just for it to sit on my drive!).
