Freelander II. Wipers stay in the mode selected (off, auto, on,
fast). So left in auto they can trigger unexpectedly.

Yes. That's why I expected the arrangment on the cars I had with it
the norm. H&S often taking precedence over convenience. Although I'd
always switch off the wipers before stopping the engine anyway.
Unless you like them parked in the middle of the screen. ;-)


Wipers have long had an unswitched power feed to allow parking after
you‘ve turned the ignition off.

Such innovation obviously hadn't reached LR Defender by 2010.

I'd not be happy with such an arrangement. If the wipers jammed or
stalled, there would be no easy way of stopping the volts to the motor.
Which could burn out and even cause a fire (unlikely).
