    Buying from John Craddock in the UK online

    I am thinking of buying Full Length Roof Rail Kit - Black Finish - Discovery 4
    VPLAR0074 from John Craddock in the UK online.

    Does anyone have experience dealing with them before? Would like to hear from the chaps before I place an order.

    It's ?358.78 plus ?60 for shipping, which works out to about A$705.

    Land Rover here quoted A$940 with fitting costs.

    Buying from John Craddock in UK

    I have found them to be very efficient and good pricing with reasonable freight costs . I would have used them approx 10 times over last 5 years .Never any problems and fast delivery.

    although another thing I consider when comparing overseas purchases to local purchases is the the chances of the item being damaged in transit.

    This being a long thin package may need some thought.

    Just a thought. I rang around looking for a better price in Sydney and bought from a dealer for $700.

    I've just this week taken delivery of a new D4 and I'm sure the stealer quoted something 1700 bucks for these rails! Being a new vehicle which attracted the shocking "luxury car tax" that obviously upped the price but the price difference from those quoted here seems huge.

    I have used them a number of times over the last few years, there price , delivery charge & delivery time has been very good . I tryed to get a cost for delivery of a wiring harnessthe other week & thr guy I was dealing kept asking for a delivery address. After sending him my address 4 times I gave up & ordered one local. I would still use JC again but hope I do not get the same sales man.

    I wonder if that was for both rails and also crossbars? Seems crazy.

    Got mine last week from Rimmer Bros in the UK, a lot cheaper landed price than what I could obtain locally. Local suppkliers did not them in black, only silver as well.


    LR box Was packed within an extra thick box and all arrived fast and with no damage.


    Rails, cross bars and awning now fitted.
