    supplyer for a td5 head gasket kit ?

    hi all, i have a disco td5 and im going to do a head gasket on it, bolts, gasket and full seal kit ect, i was wondering if any one knows of a good supplyer local or international for the parts. i usaly go to rover craft in vic but they seem maby too dear, 180 for the bolts alone, i have seen them as cheep as 50 bucks but would prefer to get it as a whole kit from one supplyer, so has any one done one recently that got a good kit, also any tips, as this is the first td5 ill be opening. thanks, you guys are swell.

    jeff.

    I'd be amazed if you had seen a TD5 head bolt set for $50!!

    I would and did buy it all from a main LR dealer. They discounted the bolts down to $22 each, when I said I would buy everything from them, but they had to do something on the head bolt prices.

    $180 for the bolt set seems pretty good!

    Make sure you specify metal dowels with the head gasket kit. Some kits being supplied still have the plastic dowels.

    Karcraft.
