Wiper blades

Has anybody found a decent alternative to the OEM wiper blades yet, they look to be around £35 for a pair (front), most popular alternative appears to be Bosch at £12, but dont know if they are direct replacement. Anybody gone down this route yet?

Re: Steering wheel leather (?) worn

From within the "app" you can see which function is preventing i-stop from operating. I have played with everything and observed each function inhibiting i-stop and appreciate the inter-action of these devices, but in my case, it is always the battery that is preventing i-stop. I just thin...

Re: Steering wheel leather (?) worn

Interesting.
