Changing wiper blades

How do I change my D3 wiper blades? I can only lift the blade an inch or so off the screen, not to a just-about-upright position as on earlier. lesser cars and I don't want to go breaking anything or dismantling them and not being able to get them back.

Thanks, guys!

There is a small clip that needs pressing befor you can push the blade out of the holder (arm), I did mine a few months ago and spent an age looking to see how to remove it (no doubt like you). If you had filled in you email address in you profile I would have sent you a picture of the clip which I have just taken.
PM me you email and I will send you a picture of the old wiper showinf the clip. 2010/60 Discovery 4 XS Zermatt Silver - Privacy Glass, Timed Climate (with remote), Voice, 4x4 screen, Bong on lock/un-lock (Pete BellAutos)

Can you post the picture publicly - I'm getting cheesed off with the wiper squeak and only 5 weeks away from service #2 am considering the non-LR blade option Steve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history)

I change mine because of the noise, it was getting dangerous I would not put them on, the noise was driving me mad, if you do a search on the forum you will fingd loads of information.

I have posted the picture in my gallery, take a look there. 2010/60 Discovery 4 XS Zermatt Silver - Privacy Glass, Timed Climate (with remote), Voice, 4x4 screen, Bong on lock/un-lock (Pete BellAutos)

Thanks for your replies. Do I have to buy a LR blade or are there alternatives? Will I need a second mortgage?

My email address is in my profile but if I log out and check my profile, the system thinks I haven't got an email address and there is no email option. Also, I didn't get notification of the replies. Have I done something wrong?

I bought some Valeo wiper blades, did a search on google or it may have been flea bay I paid £25 for the pair (make sure you order a pair) Whistle absolute silence when they were fitted!

Here is the company link http://www.speeding.co.uk/acatalog/Valeo_XTRM__Wiper_Blades.html I telephoned and they are most helpful, tell them its for a Disco 3. 2010/60 Discovery 4 XS Zermatt Silver - Privacy Glass, Timed Climate (with remote), Voice, 4x4 screen, Bong on lock/un-lock (Pete BellAutos)

I had the same screaching problem.

Went for a new set of Land Rover ones as I beleive they have changed the part number.

Can confirm that they are as silent as a silent thing. Can recommend them.

Not sure on cost though as dealer is posting the bill on!

Will report when I get it.

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