That sounds good, must have a look. Bought some wiperblades.co.uk own brand ones last year and they squeak like a distressed goose. Shame as I've had them before and they were fine.

Got mine for the Venga, but if you want them, they only seem to have about 100 assorted ones per store.

Aldi £4.99 - Michelin Windscreen wipers - focussed

We get the cheapo wiper blades over here at Aldi in france too, not michelin but some other generic brand. I find they don't last more than a year or so before the rubber goes hard and they start to judder and squawk, but who cares as they are cheap enough!

I usually have to take them to bits and reassemble them for RHD as they are all for LHD over here!

A few years ago, I bought Alaska brand wiper blades from The Range - very cheap. They were the best and most long-lasting blades I've ever used. Never seen them since.

My Yaris has a single 28" (700mm) front wiper. The ALDI version looks like it may be compatible, but it doesn't have the additional locking clip of the OE.

I think I'll give them a miss.

Aldi £4.99 - Michelin Windscreen wipers - Steveieb

Just received a set of Bosch Aerotwin blades, which get the Auto express award, for just over £19 from Amazon compared with £32 from Halfords.

But the clip fittings on my A4 caused some fitting problems for the garage when they tried to fit GSF own brand last time around.

Halfords will fit for £4.if you buy from them

Bought a couple of the Aldi/Michelin ones last night.

Am taking them back for a refund in a minute.

No way will they fit my A Class - they're the older metal arm type which are only suitable for wiper arms which end in a hook.

I should have realised when the guide book Aldi (or Michelin) helpfully provide had no cars made after 2004 in it!

Hope yours fit the Venga ORB!

Even after checking the blade recommendation with Bosch Automotive they still gave me the wrong part so returned the blades to Amazon and got the correct ones from Bedford Battery whose staff appear to know more than the manufacturers.

Looked too but nothing for Skoda Roomster or 2013 model Citroen Berlingo. They did though have them for Xantia and BX.

Suspect somebody's clearing out old stock,
