Replying to: lr3looser (Aug 16, 2007 6:57 pm) We sell single wiper blades all the time.   Someone makes a replacement blade, Bosch I think, that doesn't have the squeaky problem and the newer OEM blades that came out in the last few months don't seem to do it either.

Replying to: british_rover (Aug 16, 2007 7:04 pm) I brought my 06 LR3 into the dealer and they replaced the blades-after that no problems. Was told it was due to the blades drying out. Made sense and the dealer should just replace them. I guess some dealers want new and continuing business and others dont give a _____. Simple steps can keep customers. Heck i have referred 2 Ranger Rover purchasers so far and one more pending. I will be on my third purchase in a few months all from the same dealer. Pisses me off when i hear dealers treating their customers poory over a few hundred dollars or less. Replies to this message: lr3looser (Feb 28, 2008 5:57 am)
#12 of 16 Wiper won't stop... by chango3 Feb 28, 2008 (8:09 am)
Hello,   I have a 2006 LR3 whose rear wiper will not stop. It appears to be stuck at the intermittent mode. It's been annoying, to say the least. Any tips? Replies to this message: dandrews1 (Feb 28, 2008 10:00 am)

Replying to: ssp1 (Aug 16, 2007 9:29 pm) A friend had a similar problem with his 06 LR3 where his head lights and rear wiper would not go off. They had to order a new stalk. It did take 3 months to get. His real problem also was that at time the lights would come on with the car shut off and parked some place Over the 3 months hae ran down his battery at least 7 times and needed road service to jump him.

Replying to: ssp1 (Jan 12, 2007 10:09 am) Regarding Wiper Blades for the Land Rover LR3... I've had great success with the "Bosch Icon" Wiper Blades for the front! For the single rear wiper blade, Bosch makes the "Rear View" wiper blade! The front blades have a swept look to them. They also look superior, (my opinion), to the stock blades that originally came with the vehicle. They are also infinately more quiet and do a very nice job. The rear wiper blade has the familiar black metal arm and does a very good job. Unfortunately, (for styling) the rear wiper does not resemble the front wipers at all. It would be great if Bosch could produce a rear wiper to resemble the front wipers. Until then, this has been a livable alternative to the factory original wiper blade(s) dilema. These wipers should easily retrofit for years 2005 through 2008. They are sold through Advance Auto Parts Stores. Incidentally, I had to inform the Parts Manager of the local Land Rover Dealership about them! CHEERS! Replies to this message: kookmyer1 (Apr 23, 2009 12:44 pm)

Replying to: bcr1956 (Jul 09, 2008 3:59 pm) I totally agree!!!! I put the Bosch blades on my '06 LR3 recently and man they are great. A hell of alot better than paying $98 to have the dealer do it. Saved about $60 bucks!!!! They definitely look better than the OEM blades.
