Default Five Pounds Delivered!

Just put a new set of windscreen wiper blades on the car. The very popular aero flat design. There was nothing wrong with the blades I took off the car which cost the same amount of money last year, but I was pleasantly surprised at the revised fixing bracket on these which is better looking and more sturdy.

I tried the wipers out on the A64 this morning in murky conditions and they work a treat.

At this price I can change them twice yearly, the things have never been cheaper.

Treat your car to a set for the new year, and happy motoring..

Search for eBay seller Mr Silicone.

Many other sellers stock similar items too.

Tried some cheap flat aero wipers on the Frontera and they were awful. Within weeks they began to judder and screech.

Hope you have better luck that we did with yours.

You don't half have bad luck with your motors..

I had a set of these cheap blades on my car for twelve months with no problem, still plenty of service life in them when removed.

I thought I would post up about these blades from this seller, much improved bracket, who knows they may well cure the judder on the Frontara.

I've been using these cheap flat blades on several cars, they are terrific.

Fantastic blades, mine been on from Mr Silicone for two years and look as good as new. just put a set on the Fiesta, as you say Pab, the fitting is excellent, and the little toerags cannot just pull them off so easy.

At £5 delivered, they're worth a punt, especially on a recommendation!
Just ordered me some of these.
Ta Pab.
