When do you get the vibration, when driving along or when braking?

driving, it goes when braking. a mechanic said the disks needed changing (they are the originals) so all i can think is they are warped. could this be the case?

i am getting the brakes changed in 2 weeks though......yep payday

oh ok, when you said custom i thought it was something homemade.

Right, the stalk has basically whats a variable resistor inside, and slows down or speeds up the clock in the wiper relay which currently is fixed, from what i remember your car being an early one wont have the wiring for the adjuster.

Give me a few minutes and i'll trace it on the wiring diagrams.

Nightmare

Im currently using 4 different wiring diagrams, of which, they all have variations on one another which means i cant fully work it out. Off the top of your head do you know wether your Intermittent wipe relay has 4 or 5 pins, the 2 diagrams suggest both 80-86 and 86 on have the same relay, and the other set, say they are different
