Yes I see that now! My excuse is that I has been at work for 15 hours without a break and most of my grey cells were dead!

"arms rather than into special arms as found on VW's, Mercs, new Pugs and Citroens etc."
Bosch Aerotwin do that sort of fixing too which is useful for retrofits to conventional arms, (looks like the one on the Valeo page)
I have also found that when your expensive Aerotwin wipers need replacing you can refill them with ordinary wiper blade refils, even trippledge ones if you like them. You need to feel each end of the rubber and slide it back and forth, it will be crimped at one end which stops that end sliding. prise off the endcap at the crimped end, and use a flastbladed screwdriver to prise up the crimp and then slide out the wiper rubber, cut the new one to length and replace in reverse order! It would be interesting to know if the Valeos are like this as it saves ££££s.

Sorry for the confusion. The Valeo XTRM are new style blades which fit to old style arms. (If that makes sense!)
I will report back regarding the construction in due course.
It is a bit dark now, but I will also look at the new style blades (on new arms) on dad's Picasso. I'm not sure who makes them, but they do look nice.

I'd be interested to know how much you are charged - they were 37 euros a pair in Auchan supermarkets in France the other week.
