Good to know, but I bet they've all gone when I get in there.

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.

That's only a pair,4.99 at lidl.
Must admit I bought the last 2 pair from my local lidl.

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.

I always buy Bosch or Valeo,the rest are rubbish imo

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.

You won’t be trying to help people out again with your economic suggestions...will you, John?

Sorry,my post didn't come across well,being in the trade  I can buy the premium brands cheaply hence my post,I realise that at retail price they are expensive

Went to buy some Bosch wipers from ECP for the BMW today.. £30 after discount.

Think I need a trip to Lidl!
