That look like this are handed, we have had to replace ours in Spain and being right hand drive you cannot get them, but managed to locate some pattern part ones in Norautos that are universal fit. (y)
Don't know if you can get righthand and lefthand in the UK but it might be the same. :eek: :D Bob.

We had precisely the same problem in France about 3 years ago!

I was at a Citroen dealership trying to get a replacement fitted when the rubber split on ours. The mechanic spent almost 15 minutes scratching his head, trying to fit the new blades. Then I think the penny dropped. I certainly had no idea the wipers were 'handed'!

Eventially managed to cobble a temporary repair using gaffa tape, which lasted until we got back to the UK.

The arms are handed but other than the ones with little spoilers I have never seen handed blades.

I went to a Citroen dealer in France year before last and got some as I couldn't find a Fiat dealer near us. Fitted on without any problems and they work fine. They have got through the UK MOT without comment.
I'm sure you could go to a Peugeot dealer too.
2012, Fiat X250.

I bought a set of blades in Portugal for ours, 2012 X250, last year and was not asked if LHD or RHD, they are different sizes but are the same as the ones that came off.

They were from a motor factors and probably the Bosch ones mentioned by @Stealaway , I would never think of buying wiper blades from a main dealer.

B***y expensive though €35.40!! I was used to paying around £8 for the pickup.

If you look at the picture you will see the ones fitted are in the middle of the blade and universal, the ones that came off its not in the centre you have a long side and short side designed for air flow / wind pressure. :) Bob.

Bought a set in Morocco from one of the usual passing locals - came out of Bosch box and fitted perfectly, have been fine - no problem with LH or RH drive. Cost me about £40.00 though - I did actually need them.


But at that price I've ordered a spare set to carry with me.
