I got a pair from north yorkshire rs spares. I also got a pair from a scrap yard off a xr4+4. Paul from north yorkshire rs spares charged me 20 quid and he posted them to me.

I think u can still get them,I bought a new set from my local dealer blades,arms and washer jets.They r no cheap about £23 for one side and £27 for the other.Don't ask me why on side is more expensive than the other as I couldn't tell u,Ford are a bit odd with some of their pricing policies.Anyway I hope this helps u out.

Ford do indeed only do one side for the clip that holds the arm/blade together.
It can however be used on either side by inverting it, just means one side water pipe is on top, other side it is on bottom that's all.
Same arms and blades as VOLVO 240DL.

Mine didn't have them fitted when I got the car, so bought bits etc and put them back, I find them VERY effective in the winter, makes a BIG difference, to light performance.

I ain't no bufty, around 4 washes a year is all my car gets, and 300-600 miles a week, kept out in all weathers as well, even take the dog in it.
The only annoying bit about thw wipers is they miss a patch at the top of the light, both sides the same!!
