| Bought a pair of Bosch 989S for just under £23. Straight fit and a clear performance improvement IMHO. Although the fact that the original ones were 2,5 years old when replaced probably made a differ ... |

| It is about time to replace the front wipers. The original LR ones are expensive and not that brilliant. Are there any good aftermarket alternatives that will fit at this time? I don’t trust what co ... |

| Yes, it is by no means ruinously expensive to fit, I’ve had it done too. But in retrospect, it would have been easier and cheaper to have had it added from the factory. That is supposed to be possib ... |
