I used Turners in the UK for all the internals.
A little dearer than most, but quality parts.
Ive bought a 300tdi disco that has the engine out of it and the head off for reasons unknown. I am wanting to give it a freshen up and would like to know whether to use oem parts or which aftermarket brands to use or avoid. I still need to get it measured to see if it will need boring
Cheers

98% of all Land Rovers built are still on the road.
The other 2% made it home.
Cost difference between Britpart and Genuine seals: £2.04. Knowing that your brakes won't fail at any moment: Priceless.
Bottom end will probably get away with rings and bearings if it has modest mileage.

Avoid Britpart like the plague.
They aren't known as ****part for nothing.
Bearmach make/sell quality parts, but IME;
Pistons. Kolbenschmidt (OE supplier)
Bearings. King
Head. AMC (Turners are good for this, buy fully assembled)
Injectors. Bosch. (OE supplier)
I too used Turners for a lot of bits, although the porting in the 'ported' head was pretty average. I think I said at the time it looked like the work experience kid did it !
I spent about eight to ten hours or so reworking it, but their service is exceptional.

Its going to need boring, everything else standard size, not bad considering kms done
I'd check with Mario about some of the parts. Some Britpart bits are fine, others are made of cheese and recycled chocolate wrappers. Mario shifts a lot of parts, and has never steered me wrong on quality.
