    Wipers...

    The springs on my wipers have gone ****ed to put it politely. Theyre skipping badly on a new blade.

    Step dad said you can get those weights on the arms to stop it (unsure what theyre called), so went to halfords, they dont do them, and neither do they do the arms.

    Are they only available form renault?

    How much?

    :D

    Get arms off another clio if thats the problem, or just nick the springs, all the mk1 clios have the same arms

    If its just at high speeds try the bosch ones with spoilers on

    Lunner, i forgot to post that.

    Anyting 60mph and under theyre fine.

    70mph+ and im sat in the passenger seat driving, cant see **** all!

    Bosch wipers? Had champion ones last week and they were fine just worn.

    Ive since got these valeo ones, maybe it could be the wipers?

    almost 100%, get ones with spoilers on if you have problems, mine even with spoilers on still skip at 100+

    yup, over 60mph you need spoiler blades, the Champion Aerovantage blades are very very good, IMO even better than Bosch

    Yeah, the wipers dont work very well at 130, the motor doesnt have enough power to move the wipers to the top the screen either
