I have the same type as Ronnie but I got them from ECP two x 22" (Bosch Ar22U) and they are a perfect fit. Paid £20.20 for the pair.

i have used both halfords and bosch both great value at a reasonable price you need 2 20" blades.

My Tesco ones are still going strong and cleaning the windscreen perfectly. I bought them as I was desperate one day and thought that i would have to replace them quickly but No! They have been amazing and cheap (in fact cheaper) as chips.

They've been on for months now.

Another vote for these. I got mine from wiperblades.co.uk though. A bit more pricey

I also bought mine from mrsilicone on Ebay. Cheap as chips and operate smooth and quiet.
How long will they last? Who cares at under 6.50 a pair.

Im sure rover say 22" and 21" is the correct size

I've had a few pair from Lidl, but of course you have to get them when you see them and not when you want them.
Smooth and quiet for around £5 and lasted for ages.

Negative recommendation here for both Valeo (Aerotwin clones from Halfords) and Goodyear (Costco).

The Goodyears chattered from day one, and would bounce and skip, leaving uncleared arcs on the windscreen.

The Valeos weren't much better - they wouldn't reach the outer edges of the screen, and would leave me with an uncleared arc on the bottom of the Drivers side wiper, in addition to squeaking and farting annoyingly on anything other than a totally soaked windscreen.

I'm now back on "Old Fashioned" Bosch (SP22/SP22S) as my local Halfwits don't carry the 2-pack of Aerotwin, and when there's a possibility of getting 2 for £24, I'm not about to pay £18 each.

So far the good old fashioned blades are quieter and clear better than the Valeos ever did.
