    Paddock Spares / Famous Four / etc

    Hi,

    I am thinking of buying some gear direct from the UK for Mongol.

    I have looked at prices of the bits I need from paddock spares or similar. I figure the bits are aftermarket but I was wondering what peoples experiences were with part quality etc.

    I am chasing high/low switch for the lights, a lights off/park/main switch, a hazard lights switch, a interior light switch, windscreen seal, window regulators and a few other bits and pieces.

    Do these companys use parts from britpart etc?

    I am not in the know of how this all works but am keen to save a few $$$ as I do need to buy a handful of guff.

    Cheers

    Rich

    Yes some of their stuff will be Britpart, Allmakes etc

    I would have thought that the bits listed should be ok, and they are quite small and light so postage shouldnt be too bad.

    Bought a Speedo head from these guys a few months back:

    https://secure.pablanchard.co.uk/default.asp

    very cheap, prompt and no hassles.


    Don't forget the local suppliers though - there are still a few good ones!

    True, but would have the things DJ is looking for, I would bet. The speedo head was NOS Land Rover genuine item. What's more was easily cheapest around by 40% and many times less than one sourced here.

    i emailed several of these places weeks ago on postage and prices and still not a response, so i went to one of the forum members instead, think global and act local.
