Bosch aero, they work well and don't make any thumping noise that others, including Valeo make.

Can be had from windscreen wipers online or others.

OEM are effectively the same but more expensive.

Note that keeping a clean screen stops additional noise with wipers too

I've used these for ages:

I've got no links to the seller or anything and I got the link off someone on here. However, they are cheap to buy, don't cause the noise that I've had with more expensive blades and they clear the windscreen really well. Thumbs Up

Thanks guys, I went with Mr.Toms suggestion of Bosch Aero Twin. as I have used these on other cars in the past and they work really well.

They were very cheap online but I got them reserved at halfords at trade price for a couple pound more

Been buying similar from local discount store for a while now. Similar price (~£3 a pair ).
Wipe screen as well as more expensive and cheap enough to change every few months (also not a disaster if you forget to turn off auti wipe in winter Rolling with laughter )

Assuming the pic on the listing hasnt been messed with, they are for a LHD car?

If you can take a close up pic of them on your car it would be appreciated.

I have bought Bosch blades for front and rear in past and they've been fine.
Used ebay and wiperblades.co.uk in past.

Ukraine 2016 Discovery 4 3.0 SDV6 HSE Auto Corris GreyDiscovery 4

Hi

I just replaced my front wipers for bosch aero twin. Fitted right size and blades. Plenty of chances to use them recently but been very disappointed. I am left with a smear line in the middle of the screen from the very end of the drivers side wiper, they make a bonking noise when they reach the end of the sweep to the right and they squeak a lot unless I squirt washer fluid.

Can't see how I have fitted wrong. Any ideas?

I've had these on the D4 for about 6k miles, including long haul up to NW Norway and back and all types of rain from drizzle to torrential downpours, and for £8 well pleased with them. Thumbs Up Thumbs Up

PS Narpy blades in action.
