Hi all
Just wondering if anyone can recommend which brand of front wiper blades to buy as I don't fancy having my pants pulled down at the dealers I've already bought a set of trico blades but I took them straight off as they were noisier than the set that I had on any advice would be appreciated 57 plate now on a private plate GS stornoway grey with privacy glass colour coded mirror covers rear spoiler and heko wind deflectors parrot ck 3100 and

Opie oils sell good ones, forum discount, they work well on FL2, not great on RRS they rattle a bit, shows that some wipers suit some cars somehow At work

Use wiperblades.co.uk they have a large choice of blades.

Personally I would use bosch blades.

We know that genuine LR blades work, we also pay a premium price for a LR so is just over £30 too much to ask for at least 12 months of visibility and noise free wipers
Why buy a premium car and then look into saving pennies, you've already wasted £'s on the Trico set

Of course I'm talking of the fronts only as the rear is 'fugly'. Have a word with sponsor 'Duckworth's' for the cheapest genuines.

maybe but the opie ones are great on an fl2, near silent and efficient, they rub a bit on a half dry screen on RRS but worked fine on FL2, work fine on my pickup and tractors too At work

Last year I was looking a wipers in Halfords but couldn't make my mine up as it didn't state on the box for FL2,so called in to the main dealer and bought a set of wipers which work out £1 per wiper more and didn't have any fiddle bits to put on to make them fit.

Costco have Dunlop bades at a good price and also Lidl have some German ones that are excellent for the price.

I replaced mine with Bosch ones from autobulbs direct, think the pair was about £20, they fit well but not quite as well as the originals, I will replace with LR ones next time as they also smear a bit on the return swipe.

You saved your self some cash there, I purchased some Halfords ones about three years ago, the only blades I have ever known that are quiet on a dry screen and screech on a wet screen

I bought some cheapie blades, off e-bay. They are Red-Line brand and came from Guernsey for a tenner. After 12 months, they still wipe without a sound, and do not smear. Well pleased.

Just replaced my bosch ones with land rover oem ones made a massive difference, for the sake of the £10 - £15 I know which ones I will be buying next time... Freelander 2, 2014 Dynamic SD4 Santorini Black

Totally agree that the original LR ones are much better than Bosch. Worth the money. Freelander 2 TD4 HSE auto Tonga Green/Alpaca
