Thread: D4 wiper blades

Those Silblade look the best but are very hard to find

They can be purchased direct from Silblade themselves,but the freight is around $120.

I bought Britpart ones from here:

Wipers and Motors - Island 4x4 - Specialists in Land Rover and Range Rover Parts and accessories for all models. UK and worldwide mail order.

I got 4 front and 1 rear while purchasing other parts.

Seem as good as original.

Silblade is available on eBay here, but still not too cheap:

Confirmed with SLR today, replacement wiper blades front and rear $165 plus fitting. The comment was "we have not been able to find suitable aftermarket ones". Service was prompt, car was ready on time, cleaned and vacuumed was nice touch. Also had wheel balance and rotate, noticeable difference. They told me the lower front wishbone bushes are worn both sides and should be replaced within the next 12 months; $1600 quote. Apparently "common on this model".

Also, (and this may not be suitable for this particular thread) the only thing that disappointed is that I asked them to check the main air filter. They told me it was all good and didn't need replacing. I asked them to check again, so they pulled it out and showed me it was all good. I then showed them the tear this element had (as I knew it was there before the service). I was then quoted $70 for a new element. New element fitted (I figure cheaper than a new turbo or engine).

In my view, it should have been picked up in the report and replaced as standard.

Just my observations

I think they charge for installation of windscreen washer additive too.

Eventually found a set here,good price,delivered, and way cheaper than genuine.

Quality of genuine is not that good,mine didn't last 3yrs.

Other places have them for Defenders and older model LR's,this place was the only place that had them for D4,apart from Silblade themselves.
