No of wipes
a little thing but noticed that my 110 puma does 1 extra wipe when you push the wash wipe stalk, one extra as in one more than my previous tdis and td5 (all defenders) so mine a one off? dont ask me how many it does, i just know its one more than the others used to! Cheers

I haven't bothered to count them. I still miss the variable intermittent from the Disco's I owned.

How do you know it is one more if you don't know the number?
The reason I ask is that with your logic that would mean the Tdi and Td5 didn't actually wipe since zero is the only numeric value that everything is more than. 110 2.4TDCi
110 300Tdi

i just know that they wipe for longer than previous vehicles did and the last one seems to be wasted effort as its all cleared by then anyway - i will count next time i use them! Cheers

A lot of motorway driving at this time of year has revealed several things:

1) I used almost as much screenwash as fuel!
2) You're right - it is at least 1 wipe too many (ends up smearing the newly arrived salt and muck)
3) The wing mirrors get filthy because of the vortex running down the side of the car. They are useless after 50 miles or so (particularly at night)
4) The lack of an intermittent rear wipe is frustrating. I end up not bothering.

5) The LR is a great car at motorway speeds.
