There is not (or wasn't last year) the correct fitment from Halfords, but you can make it fit by filing the inside of the plastic clip, to allow the wider arm to clip into place. did it on mine, it took about 20mins.

I did buy one from Halfords but it's not worth the fiddle as I ended up buying an LR wiper from my local LR dealer and it only cost £2 more. The Halfords one got chucked in the bin having given up trying to modify it. One of those cost saving trips to Halfords that ended up costing me more in the long run.

It was a tad fiddly but didn't require any filing or cutting. I just had to remove part of the attachment clip and fit that to the wiper arm before fitting the rest of the wiper.
If anyone is interested I'll take some photos.

About half-way down the page you will find a rear wiper blade for the Disco 3 at £5.99.
I have one, and it works a treat.

I understand that speeding.co.uk are selling about 30 sets a day on recommendation from this forum, which shows how many people must use it. I hope they are making a contribution to Martin, I don't see them as a site sponsor

Mine are also coming up for replacement but am (as usual ) somehow unclear on parts from speeding:
No clue which is the correct part number for the fronts though
Any help from those who have bought them from said supplier?
Cheers!

If you click 'add to cart' on the 1st link you posted you'll get the correct rear (non Valeo) blade in your cart.
