Hi
Am i correct in saying that the wiper blade sizes for a '96 (N) xantia 1.9td sx estate are 24", 20" & 18" ?
also can anybody recommend a brand?

Size`s sound about right.The rear is the smallist,then the passenger side is a bit smaller than the drivers.I have found Valeo to be good on mine,which it has at the moment.

The two front wiper blades are 24" and 20" for driver and passenger respectively. The 24" tends to be expensive, I have been able to get cheap and nasty ones in the 20" size but I tend to go for Bosch wipers for the drivers side because my experience has been that they are the best by far. I had a PJ wiper from GSF and was not very impressed by its performance or its longevity so I'd go for the Valeo or the Bosch.
GSF's shop lists the Xantia estate rear as
N93907 WIPER BLADE-16" PJ XANTIA ESTATE REAR
And the hatch rear as
N93920 WIPER BLADE-19" XANTIA HATCH REAR
The rear wiper blades on my Xantia hatches definately are not the same size and neither one is 19" (18" and 20" or 20" and 22" I forget which).

i recently bought a pair of 24 and 20s for mine from ebay.
the driver side was a bosch super with a spoiler
the passengers side was a bosch super plus
generally they are very good and quiet, although the passengers side leaves a slight smear on the side as the end of the wiper does not sit on the side correctly, but hey i drive!
i think they were about £12.70 the pair delivered, half_rds would no doubt be twice the price, at least.
