My second set of wipers have just given up the ghost with the blades splitting. The two have broken within a few weeks of each other and this was my second full set - can anyone shed any light on where I can get good quality replacements please? They are so fiddly to replace because of the fact that the water pipe runs along the length of the wiper, so the fewer times I have to change them the better! It is a 4.5 litre model, later edition.

Don't order the rear screen blades!!!.
You just want standard blades as the aero ones dont match the curves. Have you looked at the Leven kits which includes an upgraded wash/wipe system.

+1 the leaven ones are a bit more expensive but they sit on the screen better and give a better wipe.

You can feed the spray hose inside the spring, making them visually very neat
