[TurboTomato]

And some For some reason, me and Bens cars, despite both being 52 reg and only a few hundred apart on the build numbers, have different wiper arms - his has a hook at the end like most conventional cars, whereas mine has a big plastic lump on the end which screws onto the wiper arm and uses a metal cylinder-type-thing with a pin through the end to hold the wiper itself on Problem was that the plastic lump would not fit over the bosch wiper as it would the original Valeo one, but it was only a matter of a few mm. So after a bit of filing and some I got it to fit, so I have a nice new wiper for £11 rather than £30 or whatever rip-off price V'hall charge...

Still waiting for mine. 2 weeks now.

Got one from (dare I say it) Halfords for my turbo. Fits fine, works, £10. Job done.

Presumably you got it sorted in time to go to Richmond? I heard it rained quite hard on the M25 last night!

[TurboTomato]

Yep, that was the only positive point - no smears on the outside

If you have the later wiper arm (without the "lump") then the 24" blade from Halfrauds will do the job just fine. I bought the bosch one and I think it cost me under £20. I guess you could buy refills if you wanted.
