    I like this feature, and quite used to it as every car I have had with a rear wiper does this.

    The difference between clean rear windows and dirty ones - I've pulled the fuse from the RR's rear wiper.

    Anyway my two cents.

    Hi Scott, I just bought myself a 2016 Graphite TDV6 and after owning a D3 with 18 inch wheels I am unsure as to how the 19's will go in the sand as I spend most my time on the beach south of Mandurah in WA.
    I am pleased to hear you are happy with the 19's.
    What pressure do you drop the tyres down to in the sand Scott?
    Thanks

    Hi dwaters
    Depends on the sand but a good start is around 20psi. If I don't know the beach I start from here and air down further as needed. Have been as low as 12psi, obviously care is needed.
    Cheers

    But it goes to show that LR actually build vehicles that will pass the swerve tests..

    Most others won't pass our swerve ADR in stock form

    Every other vehicle i have had,apart from LR's, has never had this feature,and i don't miss it at all.

    Where it is a PITA is when the rear window is covered in mud,the vehicle is loaded,so you can't see out the rear window anyway,let alone have the wiper come on and scrape itself over the mud.
    Even if the fronts are in intermittent and there is hardly any rain it still comes on.

    Anyway,as others have said,good thread,sometimes we will agree to disagree
