Anyone know where to get front and rear wipers apart from the main dealers - and how much, no-one seems to list Freelander 2 on their packaging.

I have seen then on eBay

But speak to Nick at Yeovil Land Rover (The Large One on Disco3), as he may sort you a discount out

Let us know what you find as i think mine are coming up to the replacement time too, just nneed to wipe them down to make sure Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Got my replacement set from Marshall Land Rover via e-bay. Part ref LR002550 and LR002448. Cost £18.95 + £3.95 p&p. Not sure how this compares to other dealers. You can get the rear one aswell but I have the smooth, plastic rear wiper and you can get blades from Halfords to fit these.

How is the smooth plastic arm? I saw them on ebay once, £20 ish?? better than the old world standard one? At work

CG, I think they make your rear end much more attractive. Smooth and slick rather than thin and boney. Got mine off E-bay for around £15 +p&p. Easy to fit.

Best advantage is the arm stays erect when you pull it back for cleaning. Original one I think you need to hold on to it whilst you wipe under it.

£15 each = £30.(you can tell I'm a banker!) Marshall will do the set for £18.95 - proper Land Rover part. I assume the Trico ones are a better quality at that price.

I decided to replace windscreen wipers.
I made use of original wipers in a summertime and Trico Neoplan in a wintertime. The original wipers work badly in a wintertime and therefore I bought for winter Trico. It is good choice for a wintertime.
What wipers can you advise on the strength of your experience?

Sorry for my wry English. I began to study it recently.
I'll be thankful for your corrections of my mistakes

Having read the bit about "smooth rear wiper arm" I decided to have a look and I bought one on eBay.

It certainly smartens up the back end. Looks really good.

Are these standard on new models? Mine's Sept '07

Halfords do them. I bought a set. Threw them away and bought some from the dealer... Hi Darling, I'll be home in 10 mins. If I'm not back, please read this message again...

XT, what was the problem with them ? And how much did they cost from the stealers ? We Don't Care About Pot Holes !!

I got mine from here;

And the upgraded rear wiper here;

Both came very quickly they are good quality and a great price.
