Does it make a difference if the screen has been treated to Rain-X or similar?
I've never tried the stuff myself.

How long do you expect the Valero ones to last? Question

I fitted a set in September and last month the indicator was telling me to replace them. In this time I have only covered about 7k! Big Cry Discovery 3 XS Auto, Stornaway, Active rear diff.

Halfords do sell them for about £22 a pair as I remember.

Ref the long standing issue of squeaking and juddering - I have had no issues from either sets of LR ones I have bought since keeping car shampoo off windscreen and giving both the screen and wiper a clean with some glass cleaner? (Mr. Muscle/ Autoglym)

United Kingdom 2016 Discovery 4 3.0 SDV6 SE Tech Auto Corris GreyDiscovery 4

I bought a set of own brand flat ones from www.wiperblades.co.uk part number wb5-22

I have to say they have been very good indeed (much better than the rubbish that was on before although I don't know what they were) and they are only six quid each Very Happy

They won the Auto Express wiper test hands down a few months ago, and at that price I can see why. Even if I have to change them twice as often (which I am sure I wont) still quids in and a great product.

Al, thanks.

I've found that the indicators, which I find very distracting, are just little stickers and can easily be removed!
