I was thinking, the relay i mentioned is the wiper intermittent relay and like Graynada i changed mine out for a programmable VW relay out a golf to get over the non adjustable time, and i think it's better than the 4 or 5 settings on the stalk.

Thanks for that info Dezzy. It sounds about right for a '96 not to have the intermittent delay switch on the stalk (our other family A8 QS 4.2 hasn't got one) But, I'd have thought a '98 M~Y car would have the switch. I'm certain that my Jan '98 3.7 Q registered company car had this fitted. Having a look at the steering wheel plastic shrouds on my project car, it looks like someone has at sometime removed them (one screw missing) I wouldn't be surprised if the windscreen wiper switch has been replaced. The wiper stalk looks to be a slightly different colour to the other stalks too.
It's not the end of the world, in spite of what millions thought
I'd be interested to know if an upgrade can be done without adding too many new wires, I'm not a very good sparkey.
So how does the VW programmable relay work then Dezzy? Might be an option. Mind you, at the moment there is no sign of life from the stalk switch, so it looks like I'll be forced to replace it.
