I may have a fix for the juddering wipers, i note that the glass appears to be pilkington self clean, which made me think that the rubber blade edge finds the smooth coated glass a problem, i removed both blades (in holders) & sprayed both sides with silicone lubricant spray, its rather like wd40 but without the oil, then i wipped them & clipped them back on, not a squeak or judder since. i have washed the car (every weekend) with a hot jet wash at least 10-15 times since and still no noise. I intend to re-coat again soon as i would imagine the detergent will breakdown the silicone in time. I also noted that the wipe is streak free every time. give it a try for yourself, its curred mine.

Top tip autolines!

Nevertheless, get the wipers changed free of charge as well under warranty as they are still crap compound!!!

Top tip - but yes agree with BM, the new all improved LR blades work just fine now

I have a TDV8 (March 07) with wipers that still judder. Will the new part number be fitted or will they only put these on when you complain.

This drives me nuts as it did with my old TDV6.

For the pence they cost - I would just invest in another set - who knows ..... you may have just been unlucky with a poor set ??
