2010 HSE auto.
Wee bit of guidance please.
Need new wiper blades .
The blades on my car are both same length.
Looking around there are both sets with same length and sets with two different lengths.
Halfords have a Bosch set with two blades of different lengths.
What is correct please.
Thanks Jim A

They are/should be different lengths.

I think Drivers side is 24inch and passenger side is 19inch - I think MY13 HSE Lux Santorini Black Gone
MY11 HSE Santorini Black Gone
MY08 SE Blue, Gone
Alfa Romeo GT Gone
Alfa Romeo 156 Space wagon Gone
Volvo V40 Gone
Volvo 480ES Gone
VW Sirocco GTX Gone

Can’t remember the length but my passenger side is shorter than the drivers side by about 2 inches.

The Bosch set is what I buy, not necessarily from halfrauds.

Thank you all. Will be passing Halfords tomorrow.
Going for the Bosch set. Jim A

Definitely get the Bosch blades as a kit (2 different lengths), but only buy from Halfords if you have a trade card. Otherwise they're cheaper elsewhere. Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate. The family car.

The Range sell Bosch Blades and other just as good cheaper makes

Do they have the Range up country? It used to be a West country shop. Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate. The family car.

You made me check Nodge there is one in Paisley.

or mail order

The Silverstone ones are good value and long lasting

I've not really checked on what Chris Dawson (the founder) has been doing with the Range outside of Cornwall, where there are 3 Range stores.
He started as a market trader in Plymouth, opening his first store (CDS) in Plymouth in the late 80s, which was still trading CDS when I last went there.
It wasn't until fairly recently that the Range opened in Cornwall, sort of in competition with Trago Mills (another local chain), although looking at how the Range have done over the last decade, they're miles ahead of Trago.

With the recent partial demise of Wilko. The Range is set to expand even more. I remember the West Country Market Halls in the 60s onwards. Packed on a Saturday, food Meat,Fish, Veg and Cheese stalls particularly, greeting card, second hand records stalls and every other stall. I also remember Trago Mills car parks on a Saturday in this century. Back to the present The Range as I say sell good cheap car stuff I can vouch for the Wipers I can't wear 'em down

Purchased the Bosch blades as suggested.
Cannot fit them to my car.
Arms and blades must have been changed by former owner and i just assumed that the Bosch would fit.
Looks like i will have to go to Halfords and remove a blade and get a similar fitting.
Now have a set of Bosch unable to return as i must have thrown away the receipt.
I know, stupid. Next purchase from Halfords i will go for the email receipt.
We definitely live and learn with our Landrovers. Jim A

The Bosch blades should come with a kit of bits to adapt the blades to your wiper arms. I’ve not heard of anyone changing the wiper arms for anything but standard. Didn’t even think there were aftermarket “improvements” for something that worked fine on mine.

Bossbob, nothing in the box. Will take them back after the holiday.
Very annoying.
