amazon set I got for mine,

Bosch set ,  correct fitment and decent  price

Bosch A860S set will fit all Mk3 Octavia's, easy fit and last well. I normally use wiperblades.co.uk + discount code, but the Amazon ones DaggersOctavia mentions above look cheaper at the moment.

I bought the bosch A860s and returned them as they didn't fit (from Amazon). 

In the end I bought the THE BOSCH APU24 (front) and AP18U (rear) and used the 16mm number 4 adapter.

The adapter is the only one with the squarish clip at the bottom of the adaptor. The skoda eshop does not have the octavia mk3 wiper blades and I guess if they did,  theyd be the swf version anyway which are not great.

I also ordered a heiner set of three from ebay which for 20£ didn't seem bad for set of three but I suspect not as good as bosch. 

Retailers need to update their database with the bosch compatible octavia mk3 wiper blades and the only retailer to provide that option was euro car parts. 

Thanks eveyone for all the input and help.

I suspect the A860S didn't fit my octy mk3 because mine wiper arm attachment is 16mm not 19mm.

yes the application list on the boxes are wrong , they list adapter no 1 for octy when no 4 fits best

i didn't need any adapter when I got my set from amazon, took them out of the box and clipped them on without any fuss

Yes the bosch A860S set , they fitted right out of the box, no need for any adapters

Maybe your wiper arm connector is 19mm. For some reason the A860S just would not fit, as in it wouldn't even go in the first couple of mm's. 

It's possible I got a faulty pair from Amazon but odds are high. 

Lucky you
