No sorry Roland but my dealership was aware of the problem RRS TDV6 HSE BUCKINGHAM BLUE BLACK LEATHER INTERIOR RHODIUM TASMOD SILLS PARROT 3000 EVOLUTION WHITE SIDE REPEATERS RRPORT.CO.UK BROLLY & STICKER
HOW GOOD IS THIS CAR!!!!
8 YEARS AND STILL GETTING LOOKS

I'm interested as well as my blades are starting to make a right old racket on occasion  TDV6 - gone
TDV8 - gone

I'll put my name in the pot too, as my wipers are driving me nuts

My dealer has replaced the entire wiper unit/arm - they say that its the arm itself that's at fault - not having enough spring/retention pressure on the screen.

Having had this done = all is well.

MDP, your dealer seems to be the only one who has managed to figure out how to solve that problem and you would make a lot of people happy if you could give us another hint or two.  SOMETIMES YOU'RE THE BUG AND SOMETIMES YOU'RE THE WINDSHIELD

2010 TDV8 Ultimate Edition, zermatt-ebony-grand lacquer, and all the goodies, plus Superchips Bluefin ECU performance upgrade, Gibson Performance exhaust tips

gone after only 7 months: MY10 TDV63.0 HSE, zermatt-ebony-anigree, Dynamic Response, Rear diff-lock, flappy paddles, premium leather, Sunroof, PTI, privacy glass, S/C design 5 Spoke Diamond Turned alloys

MY DEALER HAS CHANGED BOTH COMPLETE WIPER ARM ASSEMBLIES = RESULTING IN QUIET WIPERS

Is that a big enough hint  
" WITH MORE EXTRAS THAN A HOLLYWOOD EPIC "

..... according to my dealer there is no new improved wiper arm unit/assembly available for the RRS and he's therefore not willing to replace mine under warranty.

....and I don't think he's bullshitting me since they are very much aware of this problem and would like to get it sorted out but apparently there is still no official LR service bulletin out relating to faulty wipers..........  SOMETIMES YOU'RE THE BUG AND SOMETIMES YOU'RE THE WINDSHIELD

Sure has cured mine though. I can only presume that the original "arms" were not operating correctly with enough tension - allowing the wipers to lift at speed...???

Or...

Could it simply be that the new replacement "arms" came with better blades .... and its just the better blade that has solved the noise problem ??

Either way .... I am happy ..... for the time being [ how long will it/they last ] ???????????????????????

I had the same issue, I have since emptied & re-filled the washer bottle with a lubricated washer fluid which seems to have done the trick, its only from Halfords, I cant say its totally curred but if i get a squeek I give it a little blast & the noise stops. It seems to be getting better also as the blades are getting more lubricated. I will post again in a few weeks with udate.

At last I think I have found a solution to the squeaky wipers issue



I think they might be too big because they hang over the edges a little, but I don't care, they work great and I would have to say that they are the only blades that I actually like to watch working. Call me crazy, but lately I have been driving around non-stop with them on, I've even been pulled over and the cop asked to go for a ride so he could watch them work. They were outrageously expensive, but safety is my main concern and like I said.................. they work and look great.

Well I happened to be in an Auto store today and saw a pair of Rainx lattitude's. They are very similar to the OEM wiperblades as they are not metal framed. It hasn't rained yet, but when I tested them with washer fluid, they didn't make any noise. I had to pay $19.99 for each blade which is still a bargain compared to Land Rover's price. I looked at RainX's website and couldn't find them either. Maybe you guys on the other side of the pond should check by your local autostore. IDK what they are there but I found mine at "PepBoys."

Goodluck
