clean the screen with a claybar. Clean the blades also (not claybar) Range Rover Sport (gone): Mercedes S63 AMG Coupe: 992 Porsche Carrera 4S: Range Rover Fifty P400e |

I also use Rain X on the screen. Above 40mph, the rain blows off the screen. Below 40mph you only need the occasional flick wipe to clear the screen. I reapply every few weeks Range Rover Sport (gone): Mercedes S63 AMG Coupe: 992 Porsche Carrera 4S: Range Rover Fifty P400e |

I use the RainX screen wash. 5L premixed from Halfords, poured straight in to the reservoir. Occasional use of Autoglym Fast Glass if/when a stubborn mark appears.

Just had my D350 serviced at 15K - overshot the 10k because they had no loan cars for months - service was fixed price £527 - a lot for an oil and filter change - but made the mistake of asking for new front wiper blades - which took the price to £601! Must be the worlds most expensive wiper blades at. £37 each! If I’d known how expensive they were going to be I’d have gone to Halfords and got the same Bosch ones for probably £37 for both of them! Lesson learned. In answer to the post, yes they had degraded in performance, the new ones are noticeably better but I also use RainEx screen wash and it’s pretty effective - also use it on the mirrors and it keeps these clean in wet weather as well. Out of interest Marshall Motor Group in Melton Mowbray have lost the Land Rover franchise recently |

10k service interval? Really? That's very short by modern standards. Yikes! 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders 2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed |

It does - very quickly. I would doubt very much they didn’t change it. |

Remove the oil filter and see if they replaced it. SW
