Worth googling for their latest discount code - there was a thread on here about that, but I seem to recall the code has now expired.LRs are a fond memory, apart from the maintenance.

Will be really interesting to see if replacing the driver's side arm cures the thunk at the end of the sweep. I've tried about 6 different types of blades in 2 years including the Bosch aerotwin and most of the others recommended and none cured the thunk.
Found the cause of the knock, the end of the wiper arm nearest the blade had actually twisted over time, it wasn't the pivot or the spring , new arm fitted for £9.99, job done

And the thunk at the top of every sweep is gone with it? If so I'm off to get a new arm ASAP

So far so good, the old one was really quite twisted when compared to the new.
The alignment was causing the blade to lean more to one side hence on the return it was causing it to 'thunk'

Have just changed the arm, it' wasn't until I got it off I noticed how twisted it was
As I've put new blades on AND changed the arm I can't tell which one fixed the problem but it's definitely fixed Nick

Fitted the new arm yesterday. After two years of thunk thunk at the top of every sweep, countless new sets of wiper blades, including most of the ones recommended by other forum members, I can confirm that the noise is gone.
Probably the best value £9.99 I've spent on the car since I've owned it - thanks for posting the solution and the marvellous value of the wiper arm at that price.
Now I have an amazing selection of part used wiper blades that I've collected in my quest to get rid of the wretched thunk

Such a simple and fairly cheap fix
Now you can move on and listen for the next knock, click, thud, squeek or clunk

Cheers just put a new wiper arm on the drivers side and the "clunk" has gone its magic! Just need to put a 22 on instead of the 21 it's got!
