A bit hard to explain but you can manually set the first speed on the wipers (make it a bit quicker).

hmmm pretty easy to explian i think. :

Turn the wipers on to the intermediate setting, then straight off.
Then turn them back on at the time interval you would like them to wipe at and leave them on. They will continue to wipe with the same gap of time as you just manually switched.

you can slow them right down or speed them right up... :

The Niftiest thing ive dicovered is the radioa's AVC (auto Volume Control) and the Hazard flashed go automaticaly when you slam the brakes on when your speed is over 110kmh. Quick Question It states in my owners manual that the front drivers window has an Auto Down feature. mine wont go down automaticcally has any one got a fiesta that does this???

The driver's window is a two stage switch, press hard and you feel it click twice and voila! Only works going down though.

I have an LX Fiesta with the Zetec bodykit complete with front fog lights but they don't work! the wiring is all there and hooked up but i must need to get a head light switch which has the two stage pull knob thingo for the front and rear fog lights.
Or would it be possible to some how hook the front fog lights up to the stock rear fog light switch? if that makes sense....
