    Has anyone got experience in silicone blades?

    Iv never tried the silicone ones, I always use to buy Bosch Aeroflot but one day my mate told me to try the cheaper ones from screwfix, they are very good and cheap...Iv also heard you can use aerospace protectant which prolongs the life of the rubber on wipers

But I love the extra torque from the 2.4 and I'm sure it handles a lot better. Fuel wise I get around 50 miles with £10 from the 2 litre, and 45miles from...
