Hello,
My estate has no rear wiper blade........I was wondering why anyone would nick it...but then found you can't seem to buy them!? Looked through the Halfords booklet things and no rear wiper listed for a 306 estate. And nothing on ECP site either! 
Now there are a few designed for the rear in various sizes in halfords....but cos I dont have a blade at all I dont even know what size its meant to be lol?? Any ideas??
Cheers
Tom

Halfords do them. Listed under 306 in the book quite surprisingly. There about the same price from pug though so might as well just do that

I tried the bosch book and the the halfords book, just a dash in the 'rear' part for estate and also cabby.  Is there another book I missed?
But should be cheaper with trade card....although I was gonna get some front earotwins from there too, I dunno how good the trade card is on them but shop price is ridiculous lol, like £18 each, I paid less for two the last time I bought them lol (on ebay though).

I may have exagerated slightly.
Usually their stuff does cost more, and they're not really on my way to anywhere, halfords is much closer.

Cant really wait for postage though, both blades have perished and ripped off now...that was fun in the rain this morning!

I really cant see how people de-wiper, the wiper was broken on the Avensis, and now theres no blade on the 306, literally cant see anything at all, was parking using only the reverse sensors yesterday cos the rain was so bad on the window lol.

Well, spose I better get the oem one then. While I'm up there, its near Ecp so I'll get some aerotwins there (16 pound atm the pair) too. And a battery clamp as my -ve won't tighten enough so its always loose.

Just to let you know, Halfords sell 10" or 12"........why do pug have to be awkward? Anyway, the 12" was only £2 on trade so I got that, its a bit long but atleast I can see out the back now and cant complain at £2 lol!
