I'd try Dan @Duckworths one of the site sponsors. He might be able to do you a deal in addition to the usual free postage for members.

Bosch do wipers for ours but £54 for three wipers is a bit strong from Ducks, especially when £59 from local stealer. I got two front blades for £22 from local motor factor which have lasted longer than standard LR items. Can't see any justification for price of rear wiper. As a side bar, the rear wiper is the same as Fiat Punto although motor factors don't list one for Sport. 2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀

After multiple genuine LR wipers and the,m&s till being poop ie noisy and streaking the screen. I went to halfords, got the front two for about £20 and they're far better than OE.

I have always used a quality screen wash aditive and suffered from noise and ineffective wipers when using LR blades. They also seem to be fine for first couple of months then degrade needing changed after 6 months. Summer and winter, it makes no difference. 2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀

Perhaps I got a rubbish batch as they were all from the same garage.

Like I say halfords parts are good quality, as for the screen wash its whatever the garage put in, so quite possibly cheap nasty stuff.
