Wiper Surprise

Well, I've had my ZT T for five years now but it wasn't until todays rain that I discovered the windscreen wiper party trick. I discovered that on continous wipe speed one, when the car drops below 5mph, the wipers go intermittent, when you accelerate above 5mph, the wipers switch back to continous. Brilliant, perhaps I should read the handbook!

The models with automatic wipers are even more whizz bang, just put them in the auto position and they only wipe when needed, going from once in a blue moon to continuous when needed.

But as you say, even the switch to intermittent when satationary is bloody useful.

Considering the monsoon-like conditions we've been experiencing over the past day or so, thank ***** for MGR forsight!

Then you can have them also set up to stop when your handbrake is on via the T4. I love this feature!

Same on my 52 plate Connie. Brill
Talking of wipers, the gratest improvement I've recently made to my ZT is to fit the one-piece blades. Thanks to hearing about them on this forum, they have transformed the wiping performance. Ebay, about £7 a pair. Fantastic!

Do they all do that? Can't say I've noticed on mine! Have to try that now.
I HATE this feature! The last few days I've had to switch the wipers to a higher setting every time I am stationary at a junction just to see.
Is there any way to turn them into ordinary wipers ( which I control the speed not the car which can't tell if the screen is clear)!!!
Rant over!
thats so weird, i only noticed this on my zt yesterday aswell haha

You should be able to have this feature disabled on a T4 session.

This is a pretty standard feature on most cars now isn't it?! Even my C2 did this. My ZT has a rain sensor which works well. It's better than the one I had on my Megane, which no end of adjusting would ever be "just right".

So why is it so good for you NOT to see at busy junctions, in the rain, when you put your handbrake on ??????

Just can't wait for you to say why !!!!!!!
