nickw Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Hi Guys, Those scumbags at Nissan want to charge me around £65 for some front windscreen wipers which seems ludicrous. Does anyone know where I can get some cheaper? Cheers Nick Quote
Ian Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Thats pretty cheap, Wessex in Cardiff wanted £80 for them I ended up by 4 from Lidl for £10 Quote
Chilli Red Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 We have PIAA ones in stock here http://www.z-store.co.uk/index.cfm?fuse ... rentCat=18 £36 for front pair. Not the cheapest but excellent quality Quote
M350ZB Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 +1 on the PIAA had these on mine and were by far the best Quote
martinmac Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Definitely the way to go, they are so much better. Quote
AndWood Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Just checked my last service and the stealers charged me £24 for the pair it's amazing the price difference between the different stealers Quote
Chris`I Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Get the PIAAs they are excellent for the money. Quote
mwalker56 Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Chilli, do you sell rubber replacement inserts for the PIAA? Quote
Chilli Red Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Chilli, do you sell rubber replacement inserts for the PIAA? Yes, Gaz will post up a price for you tomorrow. Sarah Quote
Chesterfield Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 It never ceases to amaze the prices that dalers try to charge for some items. Especially when it comes to enthusiast car, who in their right mind would pay £65 or £80 for bloody windscreen wipers! Quote
sunset350z Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 I would of had the PIAA wipers, as they are the best i've ever used, but really needed a set today so bought Bosch ones for 18 quid from Halfords. Just have to keep applying the rain-x now. Quote
jerry3167 Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Thats why they are called STEALERS, NOT DEALERS Quote
stanski Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 I'm sorry did I read this correctly? Your talking about Wiper Blades ? Not the wiper arms? I get Bosch ones up the road from car shop for £6 each? Only ever use Bosch? the wing is on the Wiper arm so dont even need to get those type or wipers! Quote
rtbiscuit Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 PIAA are awesome, and when used with rain x or similar i can drive at motor way speeds in monsoon type rain without having to use my wipers, the water just beads off. to be honest it does it at anything of about 40 mph or higher. i'd also be interested in a replacement rubber for the drivers side, mine got damaged in the winter when i switched it on by accident with a frosty screen, i can tell there is minor blade damage as i have a tiny mist patch in the middle when i clear the screen Quote

He will post up here later. Quote
bronzee Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 I'm sorry did I read this correctly? Your talking about Wiper Blades ? Not the wiper arms? That's what I was thinking. 65 Pounds is ridiculous if that's just for the wiper blades. I only paid 40NZ$ dollars so about 15-18 Pounds for my last front set from a dealer. Quote
MITZ@CougarStore Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 I've always used PIAA, but my current set is the BOSCH flats, as suggested by another member, not badly priced too, they were about £18.00 for a front set... Quote
Gaz Walker Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 Replacement blades are available for £8.65 each inc VAT Added to Z-Store too: http://z-store.co.uk/index.cfm?fuseacti ... ct_ID=9381 Gaz Quote
