Hi all,
As my blades are the standard ones and not the very best, I would like to replace them, but
what should I take?
Which are the best?
Thanks a lot.
Regards
Gerd

The Valeos were a good replacement for the LR blades a few years ago, when the LR blades often juddered as they swept.
The LR blades were redesigned (2008, 2009?) and are now great. We no longer have any problems on our 2007 D3 and our 2010 RRS has always been perfect.
Buy LR again.

I'm due for a new set and I'm thinking about a set of Rain-X Latitude wipers. I think they cost almost the same as Genuine LR, but I want to give them a go. 2006 LR3 SE V8 w/HD Pkg.

My landrover ones have been flat from new (2006) I would tend to agree re the Valeo wipers - have had a set for 3 mths and appear to have already split as a have 2 irritating streaks right in my field of vision. The landrover ones would seem more robust.
