Will need to renew my front wiper blades before winter comes in.
So just wondering what's best?
Do I get a set of LR oem ones from Dan?
Or is there a better performing set of after-markets?
Cost isn't the issue, I just want best performing ones.
 FL2 now gone and have a couple of items left for sale:-

Brodit active iPhone holder + Brodit dash clip,
Bluetooth Music Streaming Module.

I got some Brit part ones , not impressed 2008 xs
Snorkel
raised axle/gearbox breathers
Mantec tank guard
Cb radio
Blanked EGR
Sump guard
Scratches
Snolkle

Land Rover do not make wiper blades. I'd stick with Bosch/Valeo

Will check my wipers tomorrow to see who makes them. It will be cheaper to buy them direct for the manufacturers than a main dealer. Appreciate your comment that cost isn't an issue  MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior

Forum sponsors, Dan at Duckworths has LR fitted ones and Steve at Advance OEM ones which are both very good if reports from members are to go by

I fitted Bosch aero to mine in April, In fact the Indy I use supplied and fitted them cheaper than halfords. I believe LR use Valeo as the fitted oem blades. Black MY2013 SD4 GS Auto, Wood Company Armrest, Freel2 sticker.
Gone MY2010 Freelander 2 Manual TD4.e S, Alaska White.

Have bought cheapo ones off eBay for about £8 a set for all of our cars, they work fine and no MOT issues either. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto
5 x FL2 4 manual + 1 auto
Now Discovery Sport P250 MHEV SE

opie oils do valeo? great on fl2 not so good on RRS, seems different cars suit different brands.


they sweep the screen well on rrs but are noisy, valeos improved fl2 no end over oem, At work

Just got some OEM ones off Dan at Duckworths he posted them out I fitted them last night  MY 2012 HSE LUX
MY 2010 XS

Was going to go with the Bosch Aero but just bought the highly revered, more expensive Valeo Silencio for around the same price.

sadly a better choice & value than our site sponsors - sorry chaps. FL2 now gone and have a couple of items left for sale:-

Valeo are really good. The late D2s only took valeo wipers as one of the pins were offset. Dont know if bosch do a set for them now but when the D2's were still under warranty valeo were the only option back then  MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior

Ive used this company many times: www.wiperblades.co.uk

Very quick delivery and stock all the major brands.

Their own brand wipers are very good, my daughter has them on her car. No problems and they have been on over 12 months.  Gone:
2002 FL1 TD4 GS Zambezi Silver
2007 FL2 TD4 GS Izmir Blue

Can anyone explain why, in the Bosch Aerotwin "twin-pack", the passenger blade is 19", but all other kits are 20"?

In fact, the single passenger-side Bosch is also listed as 20" Steve
