yep, same ones, good wipers and it gets us away from the stupid proprietary Range Rover design, which only Bosch would want us to keep using at 4 x the price

That Sonax tyre gel goes on a treat for the scuttle. Use a small kitchen sponge. Much better than an aerosol back to black  Gone to a good home: 2011 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE Buckingham Blue with Ivory and clear glass = "Rory"

Hi Stan, I hope you and yours are all keeping safe.

The Conti wipers have been superb. Not a judder or clonk in sight.

However, I put the wipers on to wash the screen and the NS one must have been stuck to the glass and has separated.

Can the Conti's still be sourced from somewhere?

Fingers and everything else crossed!

Thanks in advance.

Paul.

Hi Paul, personally - after 4 months of using the HQ's in all sorts of rain and sleet, and hailstones etc - buy the HQ

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/141738271428

I bought 3 sets for £15 quid each, gave one set to my brother, he has a newer L322 TDV8 than me, and I kept a spare set in the boot ( coz I was not sure at the time, back in Jan 2020 when I bought them if they would be better than the original wipers that clonked all the time, which drove me mad )

these HQ's are perfectly fine, and a decent price, double check you have the spindles set at 86 degrees ( use a protractor or cut some cardboard, mine were out a few degrees, so worth double checking )

I have never had a vehicle that either required or would have benefited in anyway with any none standard blades.

Surely, why would you need "aeroblades" of any sort unless the problem lies with the arms, mechanism, screen or the foot pedal on the far right being too close to the floor. 2003 Range Rover Vogue TD6

Hey, Pcourtney, that's great!

Many thanks for the reply.

credt to Stan Nov 2014 post - I used my daughters protractor and cut it 86 degrees and offered it up to get it exact

When I fitted the Conti's, I just... fitted them without any thought and they've been fine.

If I get any problems this time, I'll refer to the drawing above.

Aha... I never though of it that way.

Thank you.

Could anyone please confirm that I don't need the plastic lock clips if I fit the HQ aero ones, I have broken one of the clips.
Have ordered the aero ones from this thread.

Look at all the pictures on this site -

You'll see that after removing the landrover adaptations the wiper arm is reduced to just the square end with 2 holes for plastic tabs.
