Boring wiper question

[happyaslarry]

A very boring topic I'm afraid, but on the plus side at least it means I've got nothing more expensive to worry about with the car!

I need some new wiper blades and possibly those rubbery jets. They seem to spray water everywhere except on the screen.

Obviously I don't make a habit of taking the car out in the rain but anyone have any recommendations? There seem to be hundreds on e-bay, just not sure whether they can be trusted.

Many thanks,
Laurence

Wipex on ebay... boring answer

Leven blades are ~£30 . I bought the full kit for £60 which includes much better washer jets plus new arms (as mine were getting rather rusty)

Not sure if the blades on their own come with the new water squirters, worth a call to Leven to check.

They do the blade with the spray attachment along with tubes all for £20

Yep, that's what I went for, couldn't be bothered to do a link on the Blackberry, too fiddly!

Thanks. I'll give them a go. The Leven ones sound excessively expensive.

Likewise. Better coverage than a certain German brand, plus they have a better washer system built in!

I thought £30 was quite reasonable to get wipers that actually work, first time in 4 years I've ben able to clean my screen properly.

Ditto,

The Leven ones work really well, and look tidy.

I don't push the nozzles too hard when you connect the pipes though or you'll be cutting through the bulkhead to get them back in!!

And as people that have supported the Growl in the past too.

Perhaps I've been a little dismissive.
I got the impression that the altetrnatives were as efficient.

I'm not sure the current wipers have worked properly in 6 years.
The last track day I did in the rain springs to mind
