Disco3.co.uk is actually mentioned on the wiper blade section of the speeding.co.uk website.
It would be nice if they were to offer site members a discount!Clubs Mantec, Tasmods, LEDS, AT2s on 18s, Maxxis Bighorns on 17s, Remote FBH, BAS. ReMap, BSS., RLD Personalised SWP., Safari Snorkel, Faultmate, Three Musketeers & MUD

Cheers phil!
Martin have you been in tough with them? (edit: doh! typing slow today) Maybe they'd be interested, seeing as they promote the item with reference to the site anyway (with your consent I assume? )

Mine are also coming up for replacement but am (as usual ) somehow unclear on parts from speeding:
No clue which is the correct part number for the fronts though
Any help from those who have bought them from said supplier?
Cheers!
I had a go at them yesterday, the site is pretty rubbish for searching, if you search for Discovery3 OR Disco3 OR Discovery e.t.c. you get nothing. Also when you check out there is No..... would you like to check what you bought first, No, you touch a button expecting to go to that screen and then nothing, so I had another go and same again, then ping on my e-mail and see that I have bought two bloody sets of everything Now having wasted about an hour trying to find the blades I rang up to cancel the second order, to be fair they were in on a Sunday but when I moaned about the site they said I was the first to complain and that I should have just entered the product code! Give me a break I said, if I am just looking for Discovery blades and don't know the code what then? well, he said, we get so and so amount of business from the forum every day, they can find it, so I said, what about all the business you could be losing? So he did a search himself on their website and found all, just as I said, Oh! it's not my department he said that is IT At that point I was losing the will to live and told them to ensure I was refunded for one of the orders and thanked them for wasting an hour plus of my time through their incompetence and sheer rubbish check out that had TOTALLY wound me up causing me all that grief. BEWARE after you press OK on your credit card details you get nothing else, zilch, nowt, zero confirmation online that anything has happened or that anything will be sent to you You do however get an e-mail, but if you are not at a machine with instant e-mail or have some other device you would not have a clue what was going on.
Well according to them I am the only stupid in the country But then again what about all the other stupid they never knew about who gave up trying to find anything
NEVER AGAIN, but interesting they deem it appropriate to name Disco3 on their advertising and don't sponsor the site and are very open about all the business they get through this site
By the way the company product website does not even list Land Rovers, so that was another 30 minutes I wasted on that
Nurse...Nurse....

Not had any problems with them or the site. Usually very quick with the order and helpful on the phone if there are issues - like only ordering one blade rather than a set of 2. However I bookmarked the page that was referred to in the original thread that discusses the Valeo blades.
Blades are although the wear indicators are a bit pessimistic. Rear blade was on special offer if you got the fronts last time I got a set.

I think definately just phone, teh guy I spoke to was very pleasant in fairness, but another thing was that they do not state ttheir opening hours by the tel number, so I assumed it was 9-5 Monday to Friday, I suggested that they state their manned telephone/opening days and times on the site, but I guess that has gone into the good ideas trash can as well as my others
So the moral is never assume anything, if no days or times for opening shown just ring the number because it could save you going MAD!!! and being inconvenienced EVEN AFTER YOU EVENTUALLY PERSISTED ON THEIR SITE AND FOUND THE PRODUCT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
