a strange find (and a handy tip)

[Copey]

i dont know about any of you, but i find Bosch window wipers totally useless, anyway, i lost a wiper blade and when i was in town the other day i thought i would just nip and get a cheapy £2 blade from range, and fook me, 10 times better than the Bosch ones at a fraction of the price!!

 

so next time you need new wiper blades, go to Range and get the ones in the blue box £2 each so £4 the pair, work brilliantly!!

All our wipers come from the pound shop! Occasionally you get one that doesn't last, but so what? I carry spares just in case. Our pound shops also do bulb and fuse sets, some include a halogen headlight bulb.

 

I have even worked out how to make them look like 'chrome'. I use ally tape from Ratsport, it moulds really well and is totally weather proof.

pound shop is the best! absolutely full of junk you think you need but youre only getting cos its a quid

I have had those too! Best buy in the food line was a sweet chilli sauce, £1 for a wine bottle sized pack! Ours also do disposable barbies in the summer, great for runs. Poundland also sells primer and gloss black paint.

Bosch wiper blades are expensive and always noisey! i buy blades from my local cheapo place@ 1.99 each. the last set were on the capri for 2 years!. they only stopped working because she sat for 4 months which bent the rubber lips over.

[Twinkle]

if your wipers squeek across the screen give em a wipe with a drop of washin up liquid!! fellas ask the lady of the house and im sure she will show you where its kept

Rain x is awesome stuff, water just beads off the screen. No need for wipers with rain x.

and fog off on the inside of the screen too

that or they just dont like the salty rain round here...

[Seldon]

Bosch cover their wiper blade rubbers in a protective film to stop them deterorating in the pack & I think are the only people to do it. Wipe them when fitting this might help.

Failing that £1.00 here we come............

We only ever fit Bosch blades at work (well, except for cars that have those aero-blades or specially designed ones.) Never had a problem with them squeaking.

 

I always use them on my car too, although theyre free so im biased there
