Not odd at all.

Auto lights were 55 plate+

I always thought they were part of the same sensor. I can't see any difference between the windscreen sensor on my car to their 05...

Wasn't disputing your knowledge, Dan Thumbs Up

Just more thought that visually it looked the same and wondered if it was merely software?

There is an extra sensor in there. Although the housing remained the same.

There is a thread here somewhere about upgrading from rain sensor only to Rain & Auto Lights. One needs the new sensor, new light switch (with A setting) and a new LCM (light control module) which is the most expensive and most difficult to get right part.

ok took the rain sensor surround off then removed the mirror followed by the rain sensor, disconected the multi plug from the rain sensor and tested the wipers they now work on intermittent so it looks like my rain sensor is shot
the sensor does unclip off but the 2 lenses remain bonded to the windscreen therefore i will try a sensor replacement but if the lens are at fault then i will only replace them if the windscreen needs replacing , i am not that deperate to have auto wipers they work intermittent now so no real issue 2004 4.4 v8 vogue se
