I'm sure mine are 10", but I'll check and let you know.
Cheers, Clive.

Well I'll be darned! Mine are 9" too! I was convinced they were 10", must be the cold weather. :shock:

Does anyone have any recommendations for a wiper that actually wipes? Mine are utterly rubbish and only manage to move the water around a bit. Whenever I have to turn them on when I have a passenger, they always elicit an outburst of laughter. :oops:

Hi Paul, I use TEX Automotive( as for the MG`s) B05109, they are small, but where they wipe that area is okay!

Try using them with the original DR3 motor. The jiggly reverse-dance to park really cracks them up, especially when they end up flopped down on the scuttle.

I assume that isn't a serious suggestion Roger. :?

A decent windscreen wiper seems to be something that eludes even current mainstream manufacturers. With new blades, the wipers on my 2 year old Range Rover are smooth and silent, but in no time at all, they start thumping at the end of each sweep as the blade flops over. They drive me nuts. :evil:
