when mine went in 2year ago my rear wiper was split..but was told it was not an issue as it is not checked??

doesnt it cost like £2 to get a new blade?

damn cars will sap you of all your money

 

[Lindsey]

Front driver's side cost me £11 and it's not even got a spoiler like the one it replaced. The last time I paid £2 to get the rubber changed it lasted about 3 days! But £11 for one wiper is taking the piss even if it is Bosch!

Lidls sometimes get wipers for £2 a set but alas, not in time for my MOT!

go to a factors, I get all 3 wipers on a laguna for less than a tenner.

The best I have found are valeo wipers, dearer but nice.

Mmmm interesting.

How do cars that don't have a rear wiper anyway e.g my Vectra get by it then?

 

[The T.I.B.]

maybe the old rule, if you have it then it must be working? or something!

 

[bidderman1969]

thats right, in the case of wipers anyway
