Dear All Good day. Been to Midas to collect Disks & Diskpads for Front wheels. Will Check Weekend for State of Rear Brakes.
Midas does not stock Wiper Blades for the Lada. Please, where do you usually get Replacements of should I just use a Blade of similar length / shape as a Replacement?
Please advice.
Kind regards Stephen

Hi Stephen If you have the old wiper units, the all you need to do is buy a set of Durablades at any supermarket or spares shop. These blades come in in lengths, so you just cut them to size. I find they clean well and last forever!!! Although they can be a bit pricey, they are cost effective in the long run. Blessings Des

Hi Stephen
If you clean the rear brakes and cylinder every 20 000km or so they should last a very long time. You should aslo bleed the whole system to (hopefully) ensure longivity.
I think the Golf wipers should fit?

Hi Stephen
You can buy good quality wiper blades at any good spares shop. Just make sure they are the same length, as the Niva wiper motor is not endowed with a lot of power. I personally do not like any refills as the metal parts of the blade do wear.
