Windscreen Wipers - thought I'd ask....
Hi,
Bought my first Discovery (2007 SE) back in February, and absolutely love it! Nothing wrong with it, other than the windscreen wipers have become a little noisy when they're first switched on, & when they change direction at the bottom of the screen - if that makes sense. Even in steady rain the noise is still noticeable - sort of a squeaking noise I guess....
Nothing serious, but once you notice it it becomes bl@@dy annoying!! 38,000 mile on it, so I'm guessing I need a new set of wiper blades right?
Unless advised otherwise, I'll go for a set of genuine LR 'blades, but thought I'd better ask the question first just in case I'm missing something obvious.

Having just got my second set of Valeos from speeding, I also tried the rear wiper blade they recommend for only a fiver.
Afetr a few weeks use I can report that it works well - may not last as long as the Valeo, but at the the price, I'm happy.
I'm on a whisky diet. I've lost three days already.

I find the LR and even the Valeo wear out quick and start juddering
Given that the fitting is in fact not a special aero blade type but standard old school you can fit almost any blade. The Bosch ones are as good as any I have tried and seeing as i sell these i use them. But the retrofit aero blades much cheaper will also do the job
