    Soon as is convenient mate. The ones I have will work while I get the bus running but when it's on the road they need to be better than that. I'm just after a cheap fix that will last a few years and then I will replace for a good set when I am not spending so much money on it.

    Yeah not an immediate rush, my van needs it's cambelt done and it won't be finished for a week so whenever you have them just give me a shout, don't rush. I feel bad now he wants them back, maybe you should just sell them back and I will buy new mate.

    VWH were selling new old stock rubbers ...i bought all 4 ,can't remember how much but they weren't a ridicules amount ...and they were clearly good quality when i got them .
    The Mele ones were absolutely bloody useless ...cracked in six months

    Hi mate. They are the same as the ones I have put on which have perished so I probably will have to pass. Thanks ks for taking the time to look for them and get them out though.

    The more I think about it the more I don't want this to be a regular occurrence so I might just fork out for the best ones I can that people recommend.
