Spare Parts Series II

[Nighthawk]

Gday All, Ive havent been active on the forum for a long time so out of touch. Had a series III for a time, I used to buy parts (by phone) from a supplier who lived in blue mountains area . Forgot his name, lost numbers etc, Is he still active?

Question: Series II - I'm looking to buy brake wheel cylinders, master cylinder, and other brake components as well as a few (prob lots) other new spares. May I ask who the go-to suppliers are these days. Used to buy from the UK as well but freight prices was always a concern. Message me if more appropriate. thanks Nighthawk.

I get most of my parts from All four x 4, but any of the Landrover specialists will be similar. Series 2 parts are mostly easy to get and pretty cheap, except for a few bits such as 2.0 diesel special parts.

Even with freight, buying from the UK usually works out cheaper than buying locally. This changed a bit when GST was added on imports under $1,000 but still savings to be made.

Typically the same parts as you'd get locally (**itpart, Bearmach etc.).

Most charge in AUD and collect the GST.
Land Rover Series 2, 2A and Series 3 Brakes - Paddock Spares (https://au.paddockspares.com/parts-and-accessories/land-rover-series-2-and-3/brakes.html)

The only drawback is should a part be wrong or faulty it's costly to return although speaking to the supplier may get a replacement part sent FOC.

So pay a premium and have local support or save money and buy overseas.

For what it's worth, I tend to use a combination of suppliers either in Australia or the UK, depending upon the item. Generally, parts are pretty cheap and easy to get. PM me if you want any details.

Cheers,
