Having some confusion on the exact spec of a wiper stalk on a 2003 3.2 Elite.

Does this have the small thumb wheel to adjust the variable wiper speed and also the R/S on the end to display the multifunction computer display..fuel/speed/temp etc etc.

A picture would be really helpfull  from anybody who drives a 2003 3.2 Elite.

No buttons on it, no variable wiper dial either.

Just about see mine here, although mine is 2002 year, the wiper stalk is the same. As it only came with single setting intermittent, 2003 should have rain sensing wipers

Cheers Tunnie.

Do they have variable wiper speed ?

Also what controls the display on computer then ?

Sorry but have no owners manual with car

2002 ish year only have a single variable speed, which is shite. They had that for a brief time before rain sensing came in. I find the variable dial so, so much better in the 2.2

Rain should control the speed for you, alternatively you can fit a VW99 relay, which "learns" from the first "flick" to then fully on, i find its ok on first setting but after that just a ball-ache to use. Some love it though, each to their own.

As it's Elite, should have NCDC 20xx, so controlled through the steering wheel

As Tunnie said above, no buttons on the stalk.

If you scroll down through the pictures in the link you will see an Elite wiper stalk.

First click up is rain sensor position, second click up is normal speed and third click up is fast speed. Pull back for spray and if it's an estate, push forward for tailgate wash/wipe. 

I have a Dec 52 plate 3.2 Elite and the stalk is the same as in the link. Personally not a massive fan of rain sensors, even though they are on both of my cars. They do work but tend not to respond immediately to drizzle. I know when it's raining so I'll put the wipers on myself. I end up shouting 'its raining you stupid wipers' at the car.

No buttons on it, no variable wiper dial either.

Depends on whether a MID/GID or CID is fitted. MID will have buttons

Did any 3.2 elites have MID ?

Don't re-call a 3.2 Elite with MID, 3.0 Elite yes in Early versions (1999/2000) But fairly sure all 3.2's had CID/GID's

Cheers for help and info,as always guys 

Bit new to this as have had a 1998 Elite now for 8 years and got so used to its controls.

Just need to locate a owners manual for both the car and ncdc2013 and it will all become much clearer..I hope

Anybody have them for sale ?

I thought Rain Sense was a Cost Option? on the late Elites
