    D1 Parts.. Where from?

    Hi All,

    My 1997 D1 is about to get a birthday!

    Suspension bushes, oil cooler hoses, coolant hoses, prop shaft coupling, wheel bearings, belts, steering components, etc. etc.

    There seems to be plenty of sites in AU that can provide these bits and more, but I am wondering if members have a preference (either AU or UK)

    Kind regards
    Maarten

    As your planning ahead, you can save a fair amount of $$$ by ordering from the UK.
    Just need to make sure the quality of stuff.
    Bearmach is usually good for most stuff
    Lemforder for tierods
    Corteco for seals
    Timken for bearings
    Dayco belts

    suspension bushes, have a look at SuperPro. Australian made.
    '95 Defender 130 Single Cab
    HS2.8 TGV Powered
    ------------
    98% of all Land Rovers built are still on the road.
    The other 2% made it home.

    Cost difference between Britpart and Genuine seals: £2.04. Knowing that your brakes won't fail at any moment: Priceless.

    Ive just bought a D2 and for parts I ended up using the U.K.

    From what I discovered is that shipped from the U.K. they can arrive pretty quick for a significant amount less than from Australia.

    I placed the order on Thursday night (Aus time) and I had them on the front step of home on the Monday lunch time.

    I have used two different providers and the one I liked was British Parts (Jaguar Parts | Land Rover & Range Rover Parts | British Parts UK) which were great. After you place your order they advise you that they will get back to you with the cost of the exact shipping before they debit the card. That way if you think the shipping is too expensive you can just tell them not to proceed.

    i have ordered from Paddocks and LR Direct in the past, paddocks have a decent website, but if you know(or can find out) part numbers, LR Direct are way better, faster service, they have a postage calculator on their website when you checkout, and they don't overcharge on postage like some others can

    also on LR Direct you can choose from a number of manufacturers for most parts, you can choose genuine, OEM or pattern depending on your preference

    I get most my bits for the D1 from there and the prices are not bad for local. They also generally have different grades of the same part so you can choose OEM or third party.
    The attached was the last price list I got in 2010.
    Cheers

    I'll second this one.

    Recently went looking for tie rod ends for my 96 D1 and the prices where around $110-120 inc postage, Roverlord saved me $40-50 on these prices and I placed the order about 1pm, they where in my post box the next morning.

    I will definately be using him again.
