    They are easy to fit. To get the right one, Halfords is a good corner. They can easily help u identify the correct type. They can fit but will charge u .though i have heard cases of where they let women off for free....talking about discrimination...hey what have the men done wrong? should be free for all sexes...

    yes youre right there although i tend to find alot male working environments work that way

    i dont go out of my way to try and get discounts sometimes i just get chatting in an honest friendly way and i get a couple of things cheaper but not alot

    I clean mine with baby wipes :o seems to bring them up really well! :confused:

    I agree the Lidi ones are ace, cheap as chips and still working fine 18 months later, having been a Bosch lover for many years previous! :D
    :rotfl:Ahahah got my signature removed for claiming MSE thought it was too boring :rotfl:

  • What really knackers your wiper blades is grit and dirt. I find that just wiping along the blades weekly with a clean cloth pulls off all the grease and dirt. The grease off the road makes them perish.
    I also use Bosch blades and any cheap glass cleaner to degrease the screen weekly. I fitted Bosch blades to my 4 work vans in March 2007 and they're all still going strong 80k miles later.
  • sounds like Bosch wiper blades are very good, anybody known where is the cheapest place to buy them.

    The ones from wilkinsons, do they come with spoiler?

    thanks...
