Wiper Blades online

[FlamingMonkey]

Anyone know where I can buy some decent wiper blades online, the ones from Halfrauds are dog sh*t, probably looking at Bosch or a similar good quality?

Cheers

What size are they 20"?

Seems some bargains on Ebay cheers

 

[cat171]

my old wipers on my ph2 valver were 19inch
as they only come in 18 & 20 !
i got bosch one in 20 inch, but they are a bit long on the passenger side.

 

[McBunny]

you need piaa blades they seem to be the dogs just need to find a stockist

 

[FlamingMonkey]

hmm unsure now, found some on ebay for 9quid for the pair, but the Euro car parts Gaz suggests 18" and 20", hmm wonder what I have on now?

buy these they actually work lol

 

[GazTwo]

The ones on Euro parts are + VAT and proably postage as well...not sure which would be the cheapest....U dont want them not turning up for Saturday and u have to go to Hafords as well.

 

[FlamingMonkey]

Yeah need them for Saturday, just measure the ones on my car from frauds and they are 19.summat inches from and 16.summat for the rear.

Bosch only do 18 and 20s, will check out Dogmauls link now, cheers

 

[FlamingMonkey]

Just checked the PIAA ones £16.99 per blade

 

[FlamingMonkey]

So as mine measure 19" whats best 18 or 20, Im reckoning 18

 

[GazTwo]

Not sure mate....Id ask northy.

 

[FlamingMonkey]

f**k it Ive ordered the 18" according to the search the Valver use 18", cost me £20.49 for 2 fronts 1 with spoiler and 1 Rear, not bad I dont think.

Couldnt justify the 17quid per blade myself for the PIAA, although I dont doubt they are good.

 

[GazTwo]

thats exactly the prob i had, i went for 20" ones,
but on the passenger side the screen curves round a bit too much for the very end of the blade (when they are sitting flat)

Got the new wipers yesterday, Im sure they could of found a bigger box for 3 Wipers...lol size of a rather large child, with big hands.

Anyway the 18" Bosch fit perfectly and woked a treat this morning, like little Bobby Dazzlers they are.

Euro Car Pants all the way.

 

[northy]

lol I went to renault and bought 3 genuine williams approved valeo wiper blades for mine...

 

[Swervin_Mervin]

Surely when it says 18" and 20" it means the one that sits on the o/s is 20" and the one on the n/s is 18"?

Just got the bosch ones from Halfrauds for mine.

 

[TheCake]

I find the OEM Renault ones quite good tbh.

 

[Final Maxim]

what size are the wiper blades on a mk 1?

 

[dannyt]

Northy how much did the blades come to?

Carnt remember pal...id did out the reciept tonight.

 

[Graeme1978]

Bump.

Im going to buy some of the Bosch ones for my 2000 W Clio. The pack comes with a 21inch and 18inch wiper blade. Anyone confirm these are the right size for the 2000 Clio?

Cheers.

Always get mine from GSF, about half the price of Halfords and they are both in Leamington.

Last time they recommended the Valeo ones but they are no way as good as the Bosch. Only go for Valeo on teh rear as not many others fit properly.

 

[Graeme1978]

Getting the Bosch ones on eBay as theyre less than a tenner - just need to know if this pack of 21" / 18" are the right set.
