I was going to replace the wiper blades on my 3500S, but could not find any reference to rover 3500S in Halfords. Is there a modern equivalent of the blades fitted to P6? I know that Rimmers et al all offer replacement blades, but is it possible to get the right size replacements from local motor factors?
I m looking for either a complete wiper or simply the rubber blade
 
Just measure the length of the blade and go into your local or online motor factors, they come with a variety of fittings to attach it to the arm.
 
If I recall, I think the standard length is 14''. I went 14" on passenger side and 15' the driver side.
 
I have 15" on both sides - is there a reason you went 14" on pass side? The major difference in wipers is the way the working blade is attached to the arm, so take an old wiper to the shop with you so you get the right type.
 
I like the look of the original Speedblades, so get replacement rubbers from the local factor. They are wider than most modern rubbers- 8mm I think whereas most modern wipers seem to take 6 or 6.5mm refills. EBay usually has some suitable refills - from China. I also have a set of 14” stainless blades which clip on just like the originals. Again eBay, fairly regularly advertised.
 
I got mine from fleabay, just the rubber bit and messed around until I got them to fit my wiper arms.
