    parts and maintenance help in adelaide

    hi guys

    just bought my first landrover discovery its a 1994 2 door and am preparing for a drive to port lincoln from adelaide for christmas.

    i have noticed that the fan belt is in really bad condition and figured i may as well do the timing belt at the same time.

    my question is does anybody know a good place for my to buy these parts in adelaide i live south of the city but will drive most places for a good deal or is sprint auto parts as good as anywhere else.

    and also any other parts that i should replace while doing this, i have noticed that it i pretty big job to do the timing belt so thought there may be other parts that may be worth while while im in there.

    thanks for you help

    Sorry, I can't help there. I've only bought a couple of things from them (I'm in Sydney) - they were OK for me.

    I've only ever heard good things about TRS.......

    I get all my Disco work done at Sovereign Motors in Angus street and they have been good to deal with (been dealing with them for 10 or so years). They should have all the parts on hand for what you want.

    They did the timing belt on my 300TDi a couple of months ago.

    Thumbs up

    Andrew at Lynda's Landrovers did the timing belt & a new modded radiator for our 94 300Tdi a few months ago, it's still running well & had no probs.

    Can't speak for the others we have only had a Disco for a little while.
    Only problem is Lynda's are on the wrong side of town for you...
