Unless you're reversing of course.

New Zealand 2010 Range Rover Autobiography 5.0 SC V8 Galway Green

Just changed my wiper blades and the bloody plastic thingies broke. Ordered them through my dealer in Holland, postage was more expensive (in Holland) than the parts. The wipers were also dealers, price good, quality good. Just get some of the plastic thingies when you buy wipers is what I am trying to say Smile MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!
Have the Faultmate MSV2 Extreme to be tinkering with the settings etc. !!

Hi Mrs Lala here!

Driving home tonight in the rain I realised that I desperatley needed some new wipers & was not willing to go to the main dealer and get ripped off again.

Just followed your recommendations to Wiper Blades Ltd and got them for £22, just wanted to say thanks Very Happy

Just bought a set too.....808 here we come!! Wink

Was needing them anyway....hope I can remember how not to break the clips!!

Is it the clips on the blade or just on the centre piece? I thought it was a complete unit.

cheers for the link whoever posted it.

Anyone post a pic of the 808s fitted - or tell me if they look any different to the standard LR ones.
Thanks Geoff

Hi everyone - just looking for some of these Bosch 808's on ebay and found these which seem a bit of a bargain....

Item eBay Item No. 300638543908

Do you know if they're the same for all L322 from 2002 onwards? Mines an 07 car.

Flat headed screwdriver place in slot of wiper arm , push towards passenger side you will know when its disengaged from wiper , lift wiper arm , take off old wiper replace with new wiper and fitting is the reverse of taking off …. 2 minutes and your done both blades ... Thumbs Up

Nice one, thanks again.

I know a man (who will remain nameless) who cracked his windscreen by dropping the the spung wiper arm onto the screeen with no blade attached Shocked Expensive wiper blade change!! So long as I avoid that, I'll be happy...
