Thread: Looking up LR part numbers

Landrover Parts Catalog and for slightly more upto date information Lrcat

I've owned BMWs previously and did not realise I was being spoiled with BMW Parts Catalog.
Does anything similar exist for LR?

I had a look at Topix (Home | TOPIx) but the subscription seems bloody expensive, is that what people use?

Thanks
Russ

I grabbed a copy of Microcat from one of the dodgy torrent sites. As my car is an MY08 and the Microcat is a 2009 version I generally find I can get everything I want from there. Often the part numbers are superseded (several times) but when I punch them into the LRDirect web page I can follow the crumbs to get the latest part number.

This version of Microcat has a date expiry built into it, so I had to set the clock back in the VM to be able to use it. Since doing that I've had no issues with it. Great for looking up specific parts, and as mine is an odd-ball UK import (it even has stuff not specced for the UK market) it's easier chasing up bits myself than trying to get the local mechanics to figure out what it is and where I can get one.

I recently subscribed to Topix for a month just to get workshop manual supplements and wiring diagrams which has been useful, but I haven't even figured out where to go to find part numbers yet. Yes, it's very expensive.

When I subscribed to topix for a month it kept charging my credit card monthly and would not respond to my attempts to contact them so I had to get the bank to stop and reverse payments.

Thanks all for the replies, I had seen http://new.lrcat.com before but guess I hadn't persevered with it enough.
Just had a go at identifying rear height sensors and managed to find them then punched them in to lrdirect and followed the supersedes links till I got where I needed to be.

Glad the Russians have got us covered, very useful.
Overall pretty crap this isn't easier though, bloody manufacturers making it difficult for people to fix their own items, it's terrible.
Reminds me of Apple trying to make it illegal for other businesses to repair their products, just wasteful.

Woo, it is passing the test:

Spare wheel winch
- Lrcat
- LR024145 | Spare Wheel Winch DS3 DS4 RRS - Land Rover Part LR024145

Rear wiper motor
- http://new.lrcat.com/#!/12128/46398/47633/3739/47672
- https://www.lrdirect.com/LR029682-Motor-Wiper/

Legends!

I find the UK part supplier websites pretty good for part number research i.e. Advanced Factors.

Not sure what you need the welder for to service it, but it’s fairly easy to open it and then close it back up after carrying out any internal repairs.
Drill out the rivets. Use a chisel to lightly seperate the two halves. Carry out your internal work.
When ready to put back together. Get four machine screws (probably M4 or 5) with tapered heads, my lock nuts and washers. Use a larger drill bit to put a taper in the top of the housing and use the hardware to hold it all back together.

Ahhhhh dur, this is a great idea.
I'll give that a crack this weekend as I have the winch off the car already.
Thanks mate.
