Autoexpress 'Wiper' Test

In message , David R writes

Or perhaps the Trupart "free lunch" to the Autoexpress boys was nicer than the free lunches from the other wiper companies?

Hmm... I got 2 TV480s from wiperblades.co.uk for my Fiesta and I can't fault them. They pretty much work just as well as the Bosch wipers I used to get for a fraction of the cost and they're very quiet. It's a while ago now but IIRC they did come with about 6 adaptors.

Wilkinsons. ~£1.00 a side. Fantastic.

So I've heard...there's no branches in Scotlando though :-)

Come back and tell us that when one of 'em parts company with the car in a torrential downpour at 60mph.

It's not nice - I know from experience.

I never bought cheap wipers again.

The TruParts stopped squeeking as much now, but they're not exactly mind-blowing considering the other brands available.

I don't really give a toss, anything that drowns out inevitable wuman-talk is welcome.

hasn't happened to me (even on the westbound A66 c10pm this new years eve just gone with 70 mph + headwind gusts which actually lifted the wipers off the screen and blew the screenwash away from the windscreen)

is it at all possible that you didn't fit them properly ? or got a bogus set and didn't notice the poor fit ? or a combination of the two ?

You just didn't put them on properly :)

I did try to un-freeze a Hillman Imp's wipers, after a night's fishing in Dungeness, with the only thing available at the time: WD40. BAD idea. Frozen

That was about 15 years ago and I've just realised that what I should have done is pissed on them. Ho hum.

Anyway, as you were...

While we're at it, google for "worst first date jay leno"

Well remember that for next time, but watch the wind direction.

Best wishes all, Dave.
