James i have had them on for over a year now and still as good as the day i put them on , also they have a red marker on them to let you know when they are ready for changing and wearing down.

Ha Ha no P6s dont do that but I know what you mean now

One of my college lecturers from back when I was a pup told me he was delivering an old Ford Pop with Vac wipers which if you know they speed up as you throttle off, he had been pressing on a bit & they were barely moving across the screen & he backed off suddenly & they shot off into a field

Ha ha, brilliant. Not seen them, the most useless wipers I've ever seen was the air wipers on Leyland Leopards. Why on earth did they have slow mode as well as high mode? High mode was slow mode. Especially at 60mph.
