EDIT** see if you can check if theres' wires in the intermittent wiper relay slot in the area behind the fuse cover but to the left of the steering column, beside the hand brake lever. if there's wires there, you might be able to just plug in a relay from ghia or fairlane etc and the XE wiper switch. 

 


 

when i tried to do do this with My Dads XE it didn't have the wires in the loom for the relay. 

so it wasn't just a matter of plugging in the relay and adding the switch (from an XE S pack etc) 

 

you can get a WIPER DELAY KIT (here's like a bunch of google results) universal kit,  we bought one but never got around to fitting it, possibly from JAYCAR ELECTRONICS. 

 

XF has a completely different wiper/blinker switch setup and plugs for starters, and with out the wiring in the dash you'd still be probing to tap into what's needed. 

 

if i was doing it now, i'd get a wiper delay kit, as some have a dial and you can adjust it for time, the XE/XF ones were wipe every 8 seconds from memory. 

you'd need to tap into a few wires, but it may not be that hard. (auto elec would likely still charge $200 minimum i bet)
