I bought Silencio for years, until I put the aero ones on my car last time
Nice to know they do an aero silencio and will take a gander as mine could do with changing
Do they still have the yellow dot for wear on them?

Re: The Best and Worst - Wipers
Not so much wear, as exposure to UV light... I always scratched my yellow bits off before fitting them 

<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang
Re: The Best and Worst - Wipers
I have Bosch Aerotwin wipers on the 406 - alas, it seems like they are getting harder to find in the AU market. Not cheap as well - paid around the 70 AUD mark for the pair!
Given that was around 2 years ago now, i think it's time for a new pair!

Re: The Best and Worst - Wipers
I bought a pair (set of 2) on ebay.
Aero design. Brand "2edge".
Work very well indeed. I thoroughly cleaned screen when first fitted.
Use Granville screen wash conc in sub zero, 50% with rain water sbove zero.
30,000 miles later still doing a good job.
£6 including postage.
Some cheap stuff is good. A lot of retail price is due to marketing and margin build up along the supply chain.
Anyone finding good stuff cheap should spread the word :-)
