New Wiper Blade needed - MMC or other ?

Post by Mr Momo » Wed Jun 06, 2007 9:47 pm

Anyone going to MMC prior to KH ?

Or does anyone have a spare wiper blade (aero or standard lotus) for a 111R ?

I'll be testing the PIAA one soon, a bargain at less than half MMC price then :shock:

I changed to this: http://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/produc ... 706&page=1

Make such a difference and cheaper than going to MMC.

I still have my used (standard) one that I took off. It was starting to squeak and annoy me, but I don't think it's completely done yet. You want me to bring it to KH for you? Yours for a beer! ;) :thumbsup

Did you have any problem fitting this aeroblade onto the S2 wiper arm (the one with U shape hook at the end)? I bought this same aeroblade and notice it came with 2 size fitting clips, but haven't worked out how to fit it yet?! :tard

Yup, it's a doddle to fit.

Does a standard wiper blade from Halfords or any other motor factor not fit a 111R? :?

Fitted a new one to my S2 yesterday, (Bosch 24") for MoT.
