Thanks chaps. Called Audi tetbury and they have offered wipers, healthcheck, wash, vac, coffee and use of their business lounge with WiFi for £42

Judging by the costs for wipers alone that makes for a good deal to me

I use these, am on my second set which has done 20,000 miles including snow in the alps, rain on the Autobahn, and still going strong. They're probably not as sophisticated as Audi ones, but at the price you can afford to replace them 3 times as often!

I use the Lucas blades - LWDF24C - which are £9.50 each. Marcin recommended these some time ago and they're fine ...

Sounds good, but also and like a waste of your time sitting in a "business lounge" for a job that should take 2 minutes and is clearly a loss leader, be interesting to see what the healthcheck comes up with!

Thanks for that. Worth a punt. It's now £70 for fixed price blades, which is just stupid. £50 I could just about stomach, but £70 is too much.

Can't believe they have gone from £45 to £70! TPS price has also gone up from just over £60 to £80 before any discounts.

I was looking at a part for someone which was around £130-140 some months ago. I checked yesterday and it's nearly £400! Same part, probably the same stock sat on a shelf. Need to start investing in car parts lol
