DII Replacement wipers $6/ea
After reading about guys switching to D1 wiper arms, I was reluctant because I find the pricey BMW-style on the Disco II nicer to look at and slightly easier to change. I just found and installed some valeo SWF blades #800214 which were a direct replacement and took less than a minute to install
Found mine "wholesale closeout" on rockauto for $5.91/ea as of 8/27/12. Plug in 2000 or later for a DII because their catalog is confused about the half model year.

With the 2 spring set up on the D1 wiper arms, you don't have to have the spoiler.
With D1 arms you can install any of the new 3rd generation blades that give a lot better coverage.
Your choice though, but here in Denver a really stout blade is preferred over a inexpensive short lived one.

Another approach to the wiper blade dilemma on the Disco 2 is to use the NAPA Auto Parts blades. The initial cost is around $25 each (front). These seem to be the only ones that I have found that have replaceable blades (around $12 a pair). This was a good choice for me since I was able to just walk in to my local store and have them instantly. Not sure on how durable they are yet since I just got them.
