Best wipers these Bosch AeroTwins!
Cannot believe how super silky and quiet they are! Well worth investing in a pair if anyone are needing a new set of wipers!
AR16U and AR26 is the model number, although I saw @Arctic Fox has got a 17 inch? Mine already originally had a 16" so I thought this was the correct size
Well I decided to go outside and fit my new wiper blades from Asda and my Nextbase duo dashcam.
All did not go to plan!!! The wipers are Crap so they will be going back. I also found out that the E51's rear wiper is a specific type fitment too so that wound me up and then once I had fitted the 2 x front wipers the passenger one was missing the screen so I put my old ones back on which have new blades in them BTW and I will take the others back to Asda for a refund.
I put a set of them on my brother in laws E50 the other week and they worked fine albeit the fittings are slightly different and standard type. Never mind eh. LOL.
Onto the Next base Duo dash cam next and I had one of those hard wire kits with the 2 x differing fuse carrier lines which was great as the Elgrand has those bleeding mini fuzes.
I consulted my new English workshop manual in the Electrics section ( fuse box area ) and quickly saw there were about 4 ports empty and possibly spares to fit add on devices maybe??
Anyway after a lot of messing around I simply could not get the lead to power up. It was either a bad earth or just me. Are these spare mini fuse ports in the fuze box behind the drivers side knee coin box LIVE????? or NOT???
In the end I admitted defeat and neatly installed the power socket lead instead and plugged it in that way and all worked fine. Only issue now is that my 12v port above the cup holder tray is now taken up and ive had to move my little volt metre jobby in to the rear 12v socket in the RHS of the boot area where I cannot see it!!!! Doh. LOL.
These things are indeed set to test us. LOL
@Brendan1969 you need these buddy, silky smooth and I believe the rear is from a company called Denso.
