The new ones are also SWF. Good price for -30˚ 5l screenwash so picked a couple up to offset the wiper cost.

I thought that D3 wipers were £39 fitted on the fixed price service scheme!?

I would try that if I was going for something else, but I think the risk of it ending in a ding-dong at the service desk is too high.

Fair enough, last time I used this it was at the parts counter...... the parts guy almost insisted on fitting them but for £39 so I didn't grumble

Well thanks to this thread; I thought I would try it. I booked on the telephone and confirmed the price (and that VAT and fitting was included). With positive confirmations, I went in today and sure enough - £39 fitted, inc VAT and fitting. Plus a complimentary Health-check and offer to wash and vacuum. A coffee (and a biscuit). So great value (or a price error). I could probably do this for a weekly wash and vac and sell the blades on eBay for more...

Although they still managed to fit them incorrectly! They did not push the securing clips "home / flush". Hence there was a 10mm gap which looked obviously wrong. Anyway, I soon sorted that myself. It is just a case of lining the clip up with the wiper arm.
