Thread: Wiper Blade Cost!!!

I had the same experience for my D3 and since then found the part number in the FAQ section of this forum. Should be cheaper in the local auto shop.

I agree that the dealer price is over the top.

How do the after-market parts rate???

LR want approx $54.00 for each D4 front wiper!

Bosch make an aftermarket blade which you can get from your loacal auto store that is for all intents and purposes the same as the LR blade and it's just as good. They sell for around the $25.00 mark.

For the rear blade you can use a generic type and cut to length.

It works for me!

That means my dealer was going to sting me about 45 minutes labour to replace the blades (1 minute job). Thieves........

Will try after-market.

Land Rover dealers are the not the only stealers. My Audi dealer ripped me off for $158 for the wipers for my TT. They changed them and then charged me

My D3 wipers are aftermarket and as far as I am concerned, they are better than my original OEM ones.

I have generic Repco blades of the correct length in my RRS - $12 for the pair.

Unless you have funky type of fitting as used on some later Fords just get onto e-bay and order up a Euro flat blade or two at the correct length. You should not have to pay more than $6 shipped and they are great blades. If you have an odd fitting all is not lost, you can still get the odd type for a few more $$.

I believe D4`s use a 22" standard hook fitting blade, still check that yourself

I get mine from Repco - about $15 from memory. Works for me.
