I recently got a set of Valeo wipers for the car but notice they judder slightly sometimes. What kind of quality are Valeo? I'm thinking of returning them and see if they can supply Bosch. Are there any other good brands available?

Kevin, I've always used Bosch and renew them every year, I find them great and coupled with some good windscreen cleaner seems to be the best option.

John, I can't help, have you tried PM'ing a moderator?

Oh yeah and then some! Halfords take Ԛ£20+ for the pair with the spoiler, and it's about Ԛ£7 for the pair from GSF, I personally get mine for about Ԛ£1 each though as I know someone working for Bosch!
