   does anyone have a decent pair of these? ive been looking on ebay and the price range seems to be from about £5 - £30 so no idea which ones to go for (i dont wanna spend £30 on them)
   
   my friend had some once of ebay for his bmw and they were awful just smeered water all over the windscreen
   
   anyone bought some from ebay that have been reliable?

   may be a dumb question but are they for mk2 or does it not make a distance, just noticed the date it said 99-03 which is mk2 and mine is mk1

   You just need 20" and 18" for driver and passenger.

   I think their is a slight difference on the wiper arms,if you go to the Redline shop on ebay you`ll see a listing that way you`ll get the right 1`s

    Wrong, 18 & 20" is required for the front of any standard Saxo!

    ^^^, this, and even the 18 on the passenger side is slightly too long
    
    
    bought some, terrible stuff. Then I got some blades from Lidl for £5 and they are awesome

    This. Spreads water every time the blade goes down, catches the wind and spreads water all over the place. The result id you can't see jack shit. Will not get these again.
    
    and £5 Lidl blades > £20 Bosch (since they wipe exactly the same)

    I got mine in the sale at tesco for a massive £3 each. They clear perfectly but are a bit long as i went off the manufacturer spec.
    I would probably go 21'' drivers 17'' passenger.

    Actually yes what you said is correct, apologies. God knows why I said that, probably thinking of mk3 mondeo sizes.
