All the way down? and also is it starting from the auto position? cheers :happy2:

Just flick the stalk down and the blades will go up. :happy2:

Cheers guys, what doesn't help is the fact i bought the wrong set from Eurocarparts D'oh
Bought 08/05-11/05 versions and the fitment is different, teaches me to buy stuff of tinternet after a night of Jack.
Will hopefully exchange tomorrow if i can get time out of work.

From my experience Eurocarparts site can bring up the wrong parts even if you have entered the correct reg/car details. I ended up with the wrong rear wiper from their site.

I agree Kalpsn2000, I called the branch I collected them from this morning and the guy on the phone said he had the replacements in his hand, "Great, I will be down in 30" when I got there to exchange they had changed to 2 boxes and an extra £12 on top of the £18.44 I had paid already. This is all we have in stock mate the guy said, also I would need to order online to get my 30% off again. Sod you then I will get my refund and order online and fingers crossed, pray to god that the correct ones arrive sometime at the end of this week! Not happy with the customer service, they are happy to take my money but not exchange when website has wrong parts listed!!

I find TPS is hard to beat for wiper blades.
You could use their site http://www.thetradepartsspecialists.co.uk/ to locate the correct part number and compare!

Thanks Doylebros but a little too late. I ordered what i thought was what my car needed and they arrived in the post yesterday evening. Guess what
F***ING WRONG ones arrived, to make matters worse when i called them this morning the guy in Wembley said they sent me something because they didnt have stock of what i ordered. I asked him 'what good are these?' sadly he admitted they were no use at all, but 'we sent you something' he said. Because i paid via paypal i had to either return them to my local branch or post them back. I stood in their local branch at lunchtime for 20 mins (time i will never get back) handed them over and drove to the nearest stealers to get a pair that would fit!
I would strongly recommend anyone ordering online from Eurocraparts to make sure they collect and not get it delivered as the stock may not be what you ordered.
Rant over.....

Made a similar mistake (my own) once before as my car is right in switchover. Easiest way was to just take the blade apart and put it on the old frame and voila :)
Made sure I got the right ones the next time though :happy2:
