That's ok.....I hope your not planning anything technical like a rear bulb change...:devil:
people go around where you live adjusting people's washer jets or do you get special attention 
Ah, so that's why he calls himself cheeky little scamp
But if you buy the cheaper Halfords branded ones they have the fittings supplied! It's ironic in an Alanis Morissette kind of way.

Spot on...
....was going to mention this, but he had already got the other ones so didn't want to rub it in..
It's true Halfords have all the fittings, which enabled me to fit a £7 flat blade
Just take your old plastic fitting and fit it to the new blade, as long as it's not broken.
Indeed, though be careful not to do it year after year. Last winter I was on the M1 in heavy snow when the windscreen wiper (including the fitting) flew off
Fitted a new wiper to Pippin today (as part of a whole day of love for the poor thing...) -- and decided to go for a Bosch blade; but using the adapter that came with a more 'basic' blade -- both sets from eBay (see links, below) -- that I shall keep for spares:
These are the 'basic' ones; these are the Bosch ones.
The difference is amazing... -- but then, the old blade was definitely showing its age; and I'm a firm believer in renewing the wipers like I would renew oil, etc..

Bog standard blades from Poundland work just fine - if you change them often enough.
Anyone know a source of new front wiper arms?
Fiat does still have them in stock, the blade as well - at least they had last May. Front arm was a bit more expensive than Ricambio.
Thanks both. I thought I'd hit on a whizzy idea and got one from Italy but they are shaped differently - crank is put in opposite way around as the wiper motor itself fits where the washer jet is on our cars. Word of warning to anyone else!
If desparate though it should be possible to fit an Italian motor and arm. Am not by any of our cars at the mo so can't remember whether the wiper arc is truly central or whether this would have an effect on the driver's field of view.
