I added one of these last week. Simple to do and looks nicer than the factory fitted one.

A word of warning. I put one of these on some time ago, although I am not sure if it was the same maker/supplier. The ring was made of very soft brass which split beyond repair after a couple of weeks. I suppose I may have over-tightened the nut. I ended up putting the original arm back on and replacing the blade with a good quality flat blade which works much better than the original set up. - 2007(57) XS Auto, Rimini Red, Alpaca Leather.

Bought something similar for mine but the blade wore out really quickly. Ended up fitting the standard Land Rover arm and a beam type blade as fitted to new models all supplied by our good friend Dan at Duckworths |

Or you could just get a new style LR wiper? |

Information from Dan is that there is no new style wiper arm. The part number hasn't changed. The wiper blade however has changed and is now a beam blade like the front wipers. Overall the combination looks fine and looks more business like than the bit of plastic that's being sold on ebay to me. |

Sorry for the thread resurrection, but I recently 'upgraded' to the OP's item above. It came with a spare blade, looked great, but it didn't wipe through the whole arc, it was the same with the spare blade too. I contacted the seller who said that despite supplying hundreds of them, he hadn't had such complaint. Offered a full refund so no probs there.
