wondering about where to buy D1 parts

[segona]

hello

I am going to be a new owner of 1993 discovery 1

so I was wondering if there is any good online shop for parts for rebuilding

I have been searching for a while , but couldn't find anything yet

thank you so much in advance ~~

Few guys over on Disco Web. I've ordered from Drillbit and Will Tillery but I'd think shipping to Korea would suck.

expeditionexchange for upgrades.

so why not buy from Craddocks they ship overseas.

I've liked buying from Lucky8, particularly some of the upgrades he caries. For OEM stuff, I just had an order through Rimmer Bros. in the UK and that worked out well.

If you're in the US, it makes sense for order all your parts from somebody in the US like Lucky8, but elsewhere, I think it makes sense to order direct from the UK, to avoid double-shipping.

I pretty much buy all replacement parts from bputah.com or britishpacific.com

Both have great prices and great customer service.

I am in south Korea unfortunately ^^
agree with your opinion it is much better to order from UK directly
Has Rimmer Bros got web-site ?
thank you for your help

try paddocks i get about 99% of my stuff from them.
just finished rebuilding a 94 d1.

if they dont list it doesnt mean they havent got it.
they will also cross ref main dealer part nos if you give them the nos

Yes of course. http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/

And yeah, they can get you anything. I sent them a list of Land Rover dealer only parts, and they got them and shipped. All kinds of little clips, intererior trim bits, etc.

I'm sure the order picker at LR must have been wondering what the hell...

ok as a local can i point out the following

rimmers are bl**dy epensive you can often buy the same parts for 60% to 70% of their prices.
Paddocks given chance will sell you Britpart bits, some are ok most are utter cr*p.
as i said go with Craddocks tell them you want OE parts,

Thanks, I'll keep them in mind. Just for comparison:

TAY100060 front hub: 165 Craddock, 267 Rimmer (WOW!)

TAY100050 rear hub: 251 Craddock, 242 Rimmer (not so much)

SBD000380 front rotor: 19 Craddock, 51 Rimmer

Is Craddock's genuine? Rimmer has an aftermarket option rotor for 19. Craddock's doesn't list anything aftermarket, so I assume it all might be?
