Just called in our local Tesco and bought a pair of flat blade wipers for my Octy 2 - 1No. 19" and 1No. 24" - £3 each!! OK, they've got the usual "universal" plastic adapters but the ones supplied are suitable for the Octy 2. Not quite as neat and swish as the OEM bits but good for the price. They are on the "End of Line" type offers so hurry if you want to grab a bargain.

Not fitted them yet - hence no pics. I will put them on in Autumn ready for Winter (have tried them for size though and they seem OK). The actual fitting to the wiper arm spigot is not as neat as the OEM due to the need to use the supplied plastic adapter but hey, they're only wiper blades and there'll be another set fitted next year so appearance is unimportant to me. Let's face it, they're mostly concealed by the rear of the bonnet unless they are moving. £3 each -- cheap as chips!

All the best

In my experience those dont last as long as the more expensive ones. For a few weeks they are fine gut then they tend to get stiff and noisy. But then again, you can get 5 sets for the price of one OEW so might still be worth a try....

Keep us informed please.....
