Failed to fit new wipers to the Battlebus.

That's alright; I failed to do the welding on the MGTF that was dropped off last week.

In my case I did try. In fact I spent about an hour - mainly because the instructions were full on Chinglish. And yes, I did need the instructions because they were German, hence overly complicated.  And turns out Euroshite sent me the wrong ones, but as they arrived a few months back, refuse to take them back.

Serves you right for buying cheap shite. I pay for the Bosch ones that have the correct fitment out of the box. Expensive, but much less hassle.

It was Bosch.  And they didn't.

You can buy Bosch with fiddly bits to fit all kinds of vehicles, or the one made specifically for your vehicle. Guess which ones don't require cursing on forums?

The ones with all the adapters don't fit most cars it appears.  Nor do Bosch sell any adapter so it will.

I recently fitted Bosch to both of ours front & rear , had read on the Range Rover forum the problems some have had fitting new wiper blades & expected difficulty with mine ,but they were dead easy.

I did the Jag's yesterday, took about 30s, most of which was opening the box.

How the hell can you screw up buying and fitting wiper blades ? Especially if spending the sort of money that Bosch ones cost.


I expect change out of a tenner for all three blades, and change them every couple of years if they need it.

[TheBoy]

Well, I ordered the correct ones, just the useless idiots sent the wrong ones, and I've left it too long to return them.

I can't get any wipers to last more than a year without being annoyingly noisy.  And cars with stupid rain sensing wipers are even worse.  No idea what was wrong with old fashioned intermittent wipe.

I often find fitting wipers as challenging as completing a rubics cube.

Ahh Steve, there was a motor factors in Tylorstown, ‘Tune up’ I used to call in when I needed wipers and Rob would fit them for me £5 a piece all in😀 but sadly it has gone now and is now a convenience store🙁

I remember it, and it was a great little place! 

I had an alternator pack up on a Mitsubishi Galant once and Rob got me one the next day! 

It was a long walk back to Blaenllechau with a alternator in my bag!

I buy my blades from Mercedes.

Unsurprisingly, they fit straight on...

I thought Halfords were taking the piss for Bosch, but Vx wanted £45 a pair for their 'recommended' wiper blades, which are Bosch.

[Doctor Gollum]

£38 for genuine, or £40 from Helfords... Hardly a choice

Hmm.....not for my astra, but hey ho.
