Is your car pre or post 1993 ? Might be looking at salvaging a pair of the post '93, j-type ones off a breaker and cleaning them up. Then you have plenty of choice.

Assuming he's posted in the correct forum, then it's a MK1, so definitely 89 at the latest. All MK1's were the pin type blade/arm fixing. Halfords used the do adapters and last I heard Mr T still sells refills for the blades, although it's been a while since I bought any.

TCB will be able to supply the correct ones ask for Paul or Trevor, they are really good for Mk1 parts
