As if my car wasnt stressing me out enough it has decided to not switch off the headlamp washers. I've taken the fuse out and the relay seems to be working ok.

Anyone got any clues?

Well if it was the switch would the windscreen washers not be going constant too?

You are right they would Sounds like a wiring problem, if you have had hot water blowing out from the expansion bottle it may have got in somehwere to cause a short circuit, the fuse box springs to mind.

when i bought mine, the headlight wipers/ washers , did not work, i found that the fuse had been removed, i replaced it. next time i used the screen washers with the lights on, the drivers side wiper and both washers just kept on going , until i removed the fuse.
the switch that stops them , is inside the headlight wiper motor, replaced that, no more problems
