so, every so often my wipers come on by themselves.

I'm assuming the switch is at fault.

Any other reason they might come on ? bad earth ?

If it is the switch then I'll strip mine down whilst also looking for a spare

poltergeist?

not sure if its an issue on the older cars, but I remember having all sorts of weird s**t with my 964 and it ended up being the clock! re-soldered everything and it was ghost-free from then on..

I had that problem last year on my 72S. Needed new switch to cure it.
