No laughing, but I finally got round to swapping the stalks, everything work as before, including the lack of variable setting.
No matter what I set the wheel to the interval is ~7 seconds :-[
Any ideas ?

have you swapped the wires on the mid plug - you will have a blk/wht and a blk/yel wire left over.  On the main plug to the stalk there is a terminal with a blk/wht and blk/yel wire.   Cut these wires and join to wires from the mid connect in series.   PM me your email and I'll send some photos.   I did mine last week and after a bit of trial and error I have variable intermittent.

ps you might need to change the relay under the bonnet to one that responds to the delay time

Oops!, I have only cut one wire from the main plug and wired in the 2 from the stalk, will rectify on Saturday
Must pay more attention in future :-[

if you cut one of the wires from the 2 going to the terminal on the switch block you then connect the blk/wht from the mid plug to one side and the blk/yel to the other - make sure you have the right relay under the bonnet and it should work.   I can't beleive I've lived without this mod for six years - thank you OOF
