ECP have these:

Enter SAVE33 and you’ll get them for less than a tenner. Bosch.

Sorry, slight miscalculation, but still only £13 or so.

I know, John, and I wasn’t trying to say yours would be no good. I’d just rather pay a couple of quid more for Bosch.

My current blades (genuine GM iirc) are screechy as hell and drive me fickin mad, so I might just give the Lidl ones a try.
For the sake of a fiver, why not ?  :)

I've bought the really cheap shite Blades from ECP when theve had a Sale, think it worked out at something like 1.50 per blade when funds were a bit low, and to my surprise they worked and sounded perfectly.

each to his own,we are talking bangernomics here.don't see the point in paying 3x the price for a "premium brand" on an omega worth nowt.

I see your point, Annihilator, but surely it isn't the value of the car that determines your choice of wiper, but its perfomance/effectiveness?

of course it is if they do the same job and it's also why I own a £50 android phone and not a megabucks Iphone or high end Samsung s8 etc.
