Pound shop - that way you can try different sizes without spending too much. I use 18" ones and still buy them from there - change them every three months.

Can never understand why more people don't use the pound shop. Its amazing how many motoring odds and ends work well in a T25 and their wipers are fine. I get two to three months out of a set (on average) so tend to buy five sets a time and change them whenever they need it. Hardly going to break the bank. Pound shop glass cleaner and window wash mixture is good too.

Most of the materials for the 'paint your van with a roller' come from there. Grinding disks don't seem too bad either. You can generally get three in a pack. In one pound shop (Nuneaton I think), they had a whole box of assorted crimp terminals for a pound and you know how expensive those things are in motor factors. Lastly, some pound shops do tough black plastic seed trays which, with double-sided tape make excellent dash tidies and no holes to drill. Oh and a variety of digital clocks which can also be stuck to dash with double-sided tape. I long disconnected my analogue one. Many also do boxes of car bulbs.
