I think that they all have the same system. Not aware of anyone who has changed the set up, I think that it has quite a wide sweep.

Kevin63 has a bespoke system he made himself, i think anyone with a bit of engineering skill could probably re-create the system - PM him, he'll explain it better than i can

The Leven Technology wipers are a common upgrade, and work far better than the originals.

Really? (saying that my origionals are sooo rubbish) How are they better? Really worth the £50 odd quid ?

You'll laugh at this, but as far as I can make out the Leven wiper blades are nigh-on identical to the "Flat"-type blades from Tesco (yes, where you buy your tins of beans and Fray Bentos pies) - n.b. not the regular Tesco blades. £5.50 a pop, thank you very much.

Got one on my Jag, wish I'd known before shelling out £30-odd for the fancypants ones.

Oh, and BTW, if you want to improve the wash system, find a single-blade Jag (e.g. any XJ) in the breakers yard an cannibalise the wiper arm - it has a 6-nozzle spray thingy on it.

Due to a sensibly designed wiper arm angle, the blades lie more parallel to the screen, which is an aesthetic improvement, and also get picked up less at high speds. The 'rose-head' watering system has plagued me since fitment though. Dead dodgy in weather like the current snow I'm tip-toeing around in.

I'd still recommend them though.
