Noisy Windscreen wipers
Does any one else have this problem? - do they just need changing? - It's only done 14k miles

Yes, many people have had this problem. I took the advice from people on here and went to http://www.speeding.co.uk/ and got the Valeo wipers... Perfect!!If you never try, you'll never know...

There are some new LR OEM ones which are OK and silent. Different part No.“There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€
