Thread: D2 bits from UK, which website

LRDirect, I got about $500 worth of stuff sent over for my D2. They are also only up the road from my family - which means I can usually get stuff clarified if needed.

I've met the guys in person and they are nice enough....

I usually get my parts list order together and send an email stating clearly about what has to be from genuine or can be others. I usually state if an item can be britpart, I've started to get picky about them when it takes ages to get a new item through.

What any of these guys should do though is clearly seal the box and then you can see if customs have opened it. There was a part missing from my order which held me up for a few weeks. Though to their credit, they sent the part FOC.

Worst case just send it back for $20 bucks, you are still in front. (I also just deal with the guy that owns/runs it. I have his email address which I just flick a list to).

That's who I dealt with, Duncan the owner. I've spoken to a mechanic who used to purchase from them and always had troubles, with wrong stuff being sent.
seems just the luck of the draw

As it's only been 5 days since I ordered I have not yet got the items, but from what I have read they are good to deal with.

So far : their prices are really good and their communication has been great and my order has moved through from order to dispatch nice and fast. (Or so their tracking system says.)

I'll let you know how it turns out.

Ordered 6:45pm Thursday 9th February

Arrived and sitting on my desk in Melbourne 8:30am Thursday 16th February!

I'm pretty happy with that

Thanks for the info, fellas, much appreciated, Bob

I've used LRSeries with good results. Cross check the prices and parts source as well.

What a great thread...can the Mods make it a sticky (we should probably start an US version because I have had success with cheap genuine parts from there also).

Cheers

Paul has got a lot of money from me over the last year.

I used Rimmers, slightly more $ on some things than a couple of others I looked up (but only slightly). I ordered from them though as they also do Triumph TR6 parts so I had combined postage.
