I listened to advice on here a while ago and bought Bosch. They were so noisy I had to change them. I bought some Land Rover ones off eBay and they have been great for the last three years.http://www.flickr.com/photos/8851994@N05/sets/
Bosch Everytime.....on the whole these have worked for me.
Michelin Nope.....they are cheaply made, rust & disintegrate.....risk of damaging windscreen or rear screen..they also clickety clack like the OEM ones...buy these total false economy Valeo..... I haven't yet tried [/i]BREXIT - done properly.

Well I've used Michelin for two years now - not rusted, not wrecked the screen, no noise and not disintegrated......
So I guess like many things it's all down to personal choice.....I see no ships........

But he bullet this morning and shelled out a whopping £11.00 for a pair of "Bearmach" ones. Had to do it because I got in mine this morning and not realised the wipers were on auto and the screen frozen. But bye wiper blade. The have a Bearmach sticker on them but are Chinese made. I'll post a photo shortly and let the collective know what the quality is like. Not holding much hope for £11 but we'll see. It would be nice to be proven wrong. Jarrod

I got so fed up with the branded make juddering I went to my local garage and bought some Chinese ones that cost 4 Euro and looked exactly like the Valeo ones.
They have been on for around 18 months now and work brilliantly!
I would buy the cheapest ones as at £28 someone is making a lot of margin!Club Narpy Torch

Who remembers when we had our new D3 s, and had to bend the wiper arms to stop the juddering

Just fitted new Bosch aero twins @ £20 from eurocarparts. They are going to replace the existing bosch which I thought were fine but the dealer insisted they were smearing at the last service amd tried to sell me some landrover items, £52 fitted I politely declined their generous offer
This time i have gone for official size 22" drivers and 21" passenger but it still doesnt clear the little patch at very bottom of os between the sweep of the 2

Those were the days.
Andi.
Ah the good old days, when we worried about little things like wipers rather than engines seizing up.
Fitted the "original" LR type to the driver's side (which had a new arm last year) on Thursday for a long drive yesterday, one that's been kicking around for several years. Big improvement on the one that was binned, still a bit streaky and a little noisy in drizzle/slight rain. Heavy rain there is no issues with it. Not sure how long it will last, ISTR not long from past experiences, will get a set ordered and stashed in the car for when I get fed up with the LR ones.
Just got to choose from the above suggestions.

I have been using the Michelins for a few years now after trying several other makes. Never had a problem with them.

Received ebay ones this week, just gone to fit and they have supplied ons for LHD model which will put the aerofoil side of the wiper at the rear of the wiper blade!
Annoying as they look and feel decent quality.
