Only 4 years late then lol. I got a modern wiper for mine off ebay. Can't understand why they put that nasty old fashioned metal thing on a new car in 2006. (Past) Freelander 2 HSE 2010 MY In Rimini Red.
(Past) RR Evoque Dynamic Lux Si4 In Firenze Red.
(Past) RR Evouque Pure Tech in Barollo Black with bespoke Firenze Red colour coding.
(Present) Freelander Metropolis 2015 MY In Santorini Black with Ivory Premium Leather.

AndyC has said in the past that LR engineers tried modern rear wipers on the fl2 but decided that the traditional type worked best.

likely story but Andy has been around a few years and we should defer to our elders Thumbs Up At work
