Here you go:

Don’t forget there's a small piece that runs around the light controls

Blimey! I've only just noticed that! Those pics are from the Torquesteer site so I wouldnt know what it is. I'll ask though!

All Fiesta STs for the past 6 months or so have come with variable wipers. They are also on the facelift but now you have the option of a rainsensor which is cool!

Mine was built 6 months ago and didnt come with that on the stalk. I havent heard of anyone with that before! Awwww... mind you I have fun setting my wipers (never ever knew you could do that until shortly *lol*)

if you check out ford.co.uk and view the features and specifications section for the fiesta it tells you in there. It was added to the fiesta at the same time ESP became an option.

Yeah, I think that's the manual "programmable" thingy. The control stalk in the pic has "preset" variable speeds so to speak, I have a stalk like that in my Focus.

Mine doesn't have this stalk either and it was built back in March time. Haven't seen any cars with it either...

One question though, why would you possibly need like 7 different speed settings for the wipers?!

It's used for the intermittant setting, 7 is OTT, but very useful with light drizzle where intermittant is too slow & 'normal' is too fast.

Again, I hadn't noticed it till it was pointed out and mine hasn't got it either (mine would probably have been built around March, it was going to be a demo but I bought it before it became one). I'm not particularly bothered though, I find the programmable speed easy enough.

The official word from Martin at Torquesteer who's fitted that wiper stalk mod to an ST:

"Hi Ayesha,

Thats the varible wash/wipe from the Focus Ghia. It allows you to vary the wipe time when its just drizzling etc.
Although it works on various Focus' including the RS which had the basic wiper stalk, we did fit one to the Fiesta ST but the GEM (module) is different and it wouldnt work.......


Shame because its a great mod. Hopefully we'll come up with a solution."
