If I'm honest I could live with the squeak (served as a reminder to turn them off) it was the rusting part that was the main issue. I did bend them a bit and let slap, but squeak they did. Have replaced the washer jets and front washer pump recently that's made a massive improvement as well. Sent fr...

Updating an old thread but the wilkinson ones I had on squeaked and rusted away in 6 months avoid them.

Just put a set on from Brickwerks (they were out of stock last time I needed them) no squeaking (all 3 different makes) and clear the rain much better.

Bottle is fine, have a pump on order it's just the fixings rusted through, so need to find some new ones.

I've removed the bottle as was getting no water and the fixing have broken. Have a new pump etc on order just need to find a way to reattach it. T...

I took my old ones out to check for rust, I have treated the rust and was leaving till I re painted before I glued them in. But is the any need for this? The new ones I've got stay put by being pushed in place. I can take them out and clean under them if they get dirty and if needs can remove for a ...

Have just found these http://shop.darenpucerscreens.co.uk/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Are the thermal external poptop covers made for a holdsworth conversion? Seem to get a fair bit of condensation up there and thought these might help with that. I have a screen wrap and that really seems to have helped stop the screen getting to damp. I did notice a picture in the end of the road po...

I just had my salve cylinder replaced had to use a budget one as OEM not available when I needed it, (I am aware I may not last as well).
If I remember I got mine from JK in the end believe it is the same as brickwerks sell but was ordering some other stuff so worked out cheaper with postage.

I got a set of white led direct replacements from brick parts on eBay.
Work a treat and plug and play.

Both of ours were from homebase

I have the same as itchyfeet, a small oil heater that takes the nip off the air at night. Also a small fan heater I use for a blast of warm air on cold mornings.

I have wilkinson's ones on at the moment wouldn't recommend them though.
