windscreen wiper blades

[jagsy]

I need some new ones.

Has anyone changed these?

Are they equivalent to Omega??

I prefer Bosch - anyone know how much?

I have the Bosch ones fitted, one side is larger, Mark fits them at LSV & I'm reasonably happy.

Halfords sell them

[countzodoffski]

Halfords 720458 £7.49 19"
Halfords 720474 £9.49 21"

probably cheaper in the frozen North

Thanks guys.

Hmmm, confused over sizes Count.

Bosch model numbers are 22S and 20S (S being for spoiler)

They are about £10 and £14 from Halfords.

Pick the one's for a 2001 Vauxhall Omega, I have done this twice and it works for me. I can’t remember the numbers, buy the Bosch not the Halford’s rubbish or you will be back after a couple of months. You only need the spoiler on the larger balde

LOL
I looked at the reference in the Halfords book - that was wrong.
The Halfords computer had a HSV GTS registered, but no part number for wiper blades!!!

As Islandboy says, get Bosch - I have this time and from past experience I know they are good.

that little spoiler on the larger blade make a big difference over 80mph.............

Hello Everyone. Finally got signed in.

I've bought some Halfords specials a 19" & 21". The trial starts today and I'll let you how long they last. The old ones were Bosch and as far as I know they have not changed since the car was new 3 years ago.

Sorry I couldn't get along to the "Ace".
Hopefully next event.

Hello Chris, we met at the Bahnstormers meet before Xmas.!

UK Monaro has 22" driver and 20" pass. Have just fitted 24" driver and 20" pass. No fouling or over wipe. Std '94 onwards Omega part with spoilers.

Just for info

Sorry this is a bit off topic, but can anyone tell me please if the Bosch Aerotwin blades will fit (or made to fit) the standard Holden wiper arm?
