Morning all

I came across these yesterday morning and took a chance. Arrived this morning so a good service there. Obviously not fitted yet but the manufacturing quality seems OK. Time will tell but for the price they seem worth a try.

Two things I never scrimp on: wiper blades and herbal teas.

 FL2 2011 SD4 XS in Galway Green

Might I suggest that wiper blade choice should be dependant upon how long you intend keeping the Freelie? I changed mine at three years 36,000 and bought genuine from Dan at Duckworths. They cost I seem to remember about £35 delivered and if they do another 36k miles it's quite cheap. I've bought aftermarket rear blades for our Meriva and they needed changing again for the next MOT at about 7k miles- quite hopeless!

Shouldn't need changing at all for the MOT - rear wipers are not a testable item.

Thanks Steve, I didn't know that they are not tested. I'm from the old school and do a full inspection and service of everything prior to presenting for MOT. I thought if things were fitted that they had to work.

When I had my first FL2 I was in halfords looking at their blades and wasn't 100% sure as to which one's to go for, then called in to the main dealers on the way home and got a full set for £1 more than halfords were charging and didn't have any fiddly bit's to make them fit. MY13 HSE LUX Aintree Green
