Hi guys – I just thought I would post on the topic as I know it’s been annoying a lot of people. I had some dealer provided replacement wiper blades fitted as part of the first service (I requested this specifically when I put it in) – the difference is marked – there is no juddering or excessive noise so it seems LR have fixed this issue with their replacement wiper blades. The dealer provided them free of charge – if you have this issue it might be worth a 10min trip to the dealer to get a set.

My dealer said the same but aa I had paid for a pair within the last year they will be able to get around it. The TSB states that only vehicles one year or younger get new blades. 
I would argue the originals are 'not fit for purpose' given that they have replaced the original part they have as good as admitted it.  “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€

I would agree the original wiper blades should be deemed defective and replaced on all cars regardless of age - the new ones are perfect.
I did have to ask specifically rather than them applying the TSB as part of the service but they were only too happy to grab a set and put them on.

Hi All. I think the wiper blades are the same as the Oil. Its part of a service for replacement. Had 3 services, had 3 new blades, and the last set was still ok I thought.
