You did order for a D3 I take it. That website only has Discoverys up to 2004. Just thought it worthwhile to check.

Wipers arrived first thing sat morning ( i ordered about 4pm on Thursday afternoon)
Very easy to fit , took about 5 mins.
Much quieter ,and much better cleaning (proberly caus there new)
Heres a couple of pics just in case any body interested what they look like ...
Heres a nice touch , has a little embelem that gets more visable as the wipers wear out ...eventually ending up telling you when they need changing.
Also the way its designed , you see this from inside the cab ...nice

Sadly the yellow indicator will be telling you get new blades in about 6 weeks in this weather (or less; the solvents in washer fluid make the colour change even quicker). The only feature on these blades to be totally useless as in all other respects they are the business I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

Not used I hope. Too much intellectual firepower can damage your common sense.

Used and inside out, there would be proteolytic enzymes and surfactants of value in screen cleaning
But think of appearances, man! And they do fly off, NOT that I have tried it or anything  2006 D3 finally swapped for a 2016 D4 Graphite in Graphite grey. No mods

do both LHD & RHD versions of the disco make the same noise with wipers or is it just RHD ?
Also do Range Rover Sports do the same ?
How could LR get such a basic thing so wrong..... BREXIT - done properly.

Had mine switched at the first service for new LR ones - completely silent and the dealer threw them in free of charge.

Not sure how to post a link to a previous thread, but there is one I started, somewhere, entitled "Noisy wiper blades - are Landrover admitting there is a problem" - or something like that. I had my very noisy blades exchanged under warranty, last June, for the new style ones and since then I haven't had a problem at all. I was taught to be cautious.

I should mention that the blades don't wear out in the 6 weeks, just the blade replacement indicators!!! I'm still on the set I fitted in July which have been showing a yellow "Replace me!" indicator since late September but are still I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.
