Even though I don't have a Defender, still love watching your videos 😂 Planning to buy one in the future once I save up enough money 👍

Thanks for making this video and getting the word out about the new blade! Glad my original comment helped! Keep doing what you’re doing, you’re a vital part of the LR community! I’m going to be in the UK for the Goodwood FoS - I might try to stop by your shop if I have some free time!

Hi - I am trying to get some press passes for the goodwood festival of speed - so maybe we can meet up there ? you picked a great show to go to - i know Land Rover has a big surprise at the show.....I know what it is but cannot tell you ! You will not be disappointed.

For $7 you can buy a refill of the rubber in the wipers. Pop the end caps off, slide out the rubber, cut a retaining notch in the rubber and slide in the new ones. 10 minute task.

Simon I did recently try to source a blade for my 2020 110 X and ran into the same issue. I just changed the fronts and left the rear. Now I know why ! Thanks. Also how dumb of JLR....
@L663
@L663 Месяц назад
The new design is cool - no problem with that - but no need to discontinue the old blade.
@WizzardPrang
@WizzardPrang Месяц назад
Not making the old version blade available is a bit cheeky of JLR to say the least. However, the new design looks much better. In my experience the performance of the original washer has always been a bit rubbish. Also, one of my jets became clogged and I found it impossible to get at to clean without removing the spare wheel. Brilliant design, eh? Handy tip: if you stand close to the rear when testing the jets (with an assistant operating the washer switch) you get very wet feet from the rear camera washer. 🤣

You will note I left Destiny at the rear for the test - she did not complain of wet feet !

Simon…that new blade with built in water spray is much like the Mercedes original on my SL…you cannot buy any aftermarket blade and a new one was £100 but that was three years ago! The older design Defender blade does look a bit amateurish in engineering terms so guess someone was given the job of improving it but kept the complexity! I see the rear wiper on the L494 disappears under the spoiler so that looks like fun to be enjoyed one day! Maybe you have a video on that somewhere..I shall have to look and rehearse! 😀😀😀😀Richard

I think you can pull the blade off with the wheel on the door - clearly for the video is better to see what is happening with the wheel removed !

@L663 Месяц назад
Hi Steve - this is interesting - i know how to do this but there is a problem. I dont think Land Rover want me to show the TCU location - or how to remove the battery - this could be seen to help thieves disable the TCU ( even though they all know how to do it ! )

@@L663 I was reading the online manual for this. It states the car must be put into service mode. The manual said to achieve service mode in one of three ways. I don’t see service mode in my app, so can I call LR to have the car placed into service mode? The manual says the TCU can be corrupted if this battery is replaced outside of service mode. The actually battery online is only $30.00 dollars and LR wants $400.00 to replace the battery. What a pickle to be in! 😆. The warning light is now constantly on.

@@L663 yes! The app does have this “service mode” option. It’s a slider toggle. I read that the car must be in service mode and the negative lead removed from battery when replacing the TCU battery. Spoke to LR parts today and they explained where the unit is. Service did confirm that these batteries need replacing on year 3-4, at $430.00 labor. I’m going to try and do this myself! 😉

Does seem from I've found that both Bosch and Valeo have that clip on them so maybe it is a dealer only part although Auto Doc do seem the sell a possible replacement like the one you took off originally with a Denso make. DF320 EAN 8717613172780
