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!

Cheers phil! Thumbs Up

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 Wink (with your consent I assume? Whistle )

Mine are also coming up for replacement but am (as usual Laughing ) somehow unclear on parts from speeding:

This seems to be the rear wiper in question: http://www.speeding.co.uk/acatalog/Valeo_X...html#a1560

But also this seems to be the rear wiper (part no UM665): http://www.speeding.co.uk/acatalog/Valeo_X...html#a4561

No clue which is the correct part number for the fronts though Confused

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 Evil or Very Mad 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 Censored all, just as I said, Oh! it's not my department he said that is IT Sad 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 Censored 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 Censored happened or that anything will be Censored sent to you Evil or Very Mad 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 Censored clue what was going on.

Well according to them I am the only stupid Censored in the country Sad But then again what about all the other stupid Censored they never knew about who gave up trying to find anything Laughing

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 Wink

By the way the company product website does not even list Land Rovers, so that was another 30 Censored minutes I wasted on that Evil or Very Mad

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 Thumbs Up 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 Razz

So the moral is never assume anything, if no days or times for opening shown just ring the Censored number because it could save you going Censored MAD!!! and being inconvenienced EVEN AFTER YOU EVENTUALLY PERSISTED ON THEIR SITE AND FOUND THE Censored PRODUCT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
