Just got some ready for winter; hunted online as Halfords etc were a bit pricey and also searched on here for old posts. Went with some from www.wiperblades.co.uk in the end... seem to do the trick!

I have tried a few and agree that the Valeo Silencio X-TRM are the best - I currently have the cheaper Valeos and they are rubbish (noisy and smeary) cant wait for them to wear a little more before going back to Silencio X-TRM. They cost a bit but in my opinion they are worth it. Also Gone : MY14 D4 SDV6 HSE : Barolo Black + Almond
Sadly Gone : MY08 D3 TDV6 HSE : Stornoway + Alpaca + Privacy + BAS Remap
