thanks will look into this and does not seem expensive....does it fit on the car secure enough to withstand a general windy conditions?

It is currently only £4.99 at the moment and eligible for free delivery.

I got a cheap screen cover that you jam in the doors to hold in place for a pound or something from Morrisons last winter. Did the job but only needed to use it twice by time I got round to buying it.

Ah yeah, forgot they raised the minimum spend. But you can add a 99p cd if it works out cheaper than p&p.

That sounds like a top tip, but I can't actually find any 99p CDs sold by Amazon, is there a trick to finding them? The cheapest CD I've found so far costs £1.49, and that took some hunting for!

okay you need something cheap to get free delivery..i found an audio book which should help the long dark drives to work!
this is only £2.54 and looks like a good read http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0712608265/ref=s9_simh_co_p14_d0_i3?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=left-3&pf_rd_r=1W8Q6P3PWB671PYZWE7K&pf_rd_t=3201&pf_rd_p=466496413&pf_rd_i=typ01

Yes quite secure, I've tried several types and this is the best at staying on the screen. The wing mirror covers are elastic and help to hold it on, then there's two velco straps for the wiper blades. A couple of suckers for the top of the windscreen. Two big flaps with suckers that go over the top of the doors and two smaller suckers to hold the bottom corners down.

Order from Waxacar market seller to get free delivery.

got this today and to be frank idea is good but only useful for a small car with non-folding mirrors. material is very poor quality and the suction rings rip very easily of the cover. shame as would have been useful...already asked Amazon if I can refund and return this.

Sorry to hear that, I bought mine last year and it's good quality and still looks new after the bad winter. Maybe they've change material or supplier recently.

I didn't think about the folding mirrors, had them on my last car but this one hasn't got them fitted.

no worries, thanks anyway for the tip. material was a very easy to tear did not fit my car width easily in any case (standard hatchback)

the wilkinson all season didnt have any temps written, the ECP does state it is suitable up to -8. Considering winters in this country only go as far as -5 I think it's good enough protection to be honest.

-36 and -70 celcius protection below, less than £2 per 5ltr

Note, ratings are used when neat. So I suppose you just divide the protection by the dilution ratio you use? eg. if you add 4ltr of water to 1 part screenwash then you divide the protection by 5. so the 70 degrees becomes 14

You had a different winter from me last year then,
-15 a few times

not sure why you keep posting alternatives that are clearly not as good or are more expensive
