A couple of parts numbers required.

Hi,

Firstly, can anyone recommend a good online parts catalogue for my 2001 Defender 110 with the TD5 engine?

Also, I would like to find part numbers for two items.

1. The rubber sealing ring for the in-tank fuel pump.
2. The small plastic pipes which connect the fuel lines to the fuel pump.

The little pipes I am looking for are about 2 inches long with a small ridge in the middle. They are inserted into the end of the fuel lines between the pump and the filter and also into the clips on the top of the fuel pump. I managed to break one of mine when the tank slipped as I was disconnecting it.

Any help would be very much appreciated as it will make ordering them over the phone much easier if I can quote parts numbers.

Cheers,

Ron.

Paddock Spares - Land Rover, Range Rover Parts & Accessories - Discovery, Defender and Freelander found them A1 ,never had to wait more than a couple of days for delivery . (and i think if you spend +£60 free postage too )

Hi Buckshot,

Yep, I agree with you that Paddock's are very good. But I find it difficult to find some things with their search. For instance, I was trying to find the tiny little gauze filter that goes into the cylinder head behind the Fuel Pressure Regulator. I found the wee O-ring ok - (ERR6761 @ 19p + vat) but I couldn't find the filter on their site so I ordered one locally from Strathearn Engineering. They are about a 40 mile round trip from where I live. So, if I could get a really good and easily searched online parts catalogue to browse etc. this would make it easier to source bits in future.

I'm sure I have seen a couple of mentions in some of the older threads on here, but I cannot find them now that I need them, typical of my luck.

Normally, when I come across useful stuff, I bookmark the thread and can always refer back to it when I need to, but I seem to have overlooked bookmarking these ones.

Oh, and thanks for your very swift reply.

Ron.

could always ring um

Yep, but it will need to wait until Monday now.

The tank slipped and by the time I crawled out and decided to phone in an order it was 1335hrs and Strathearn Engineering close at 1300hrs on a Saturday. I'll give Dave a buzz on Monday and he will have them for me on Tuesday.

Cheers anyway.

I don't know of any online parts 'catalogues', but there are plenty of online parts suppliers who will be able to find you an exact part through a rough description, or by entering a few keywords into their search boxes.

Paddocks are okay but there are plenty of people (me included) who have had problems with them and the buggers seldom answer the phone even though they claim to have ten lines!

I have become quite fond of lrseries:
L. R. Series - specialists in land rover, land rover series and range rover - gearbox, axle, transmission parts, spares and major units

John Craddock's are also very good and have just had their website revamped:
John Craddock Ltd - The Largest supplier of Land Rover Parts and Spares in the World

Avoid BritPart (AKA ****Part) components wherever possible, particulaly for mechanical items such as fuel lift pumps and water pumps for example. Their prices are often very attractive, but longevity is appalling and many parts which are supposed to be exact pattern copies either don't fit, or a made from much thinner materials! I had an injector pipe from them the other day with a bend going in the opposite direction to the original! AllMakes4x4 are okay, but some of their items are very comparable to Britpart in terms of quality. Bearmach are another alternative parts manufacture who are relatively cheap but renowned for good quality. There is also no need to go and pay silly money for official Land Rover parts either, because a lot of them are made to a similar spec as cheaper but more reliable component manufacturers such as Delphi and Bosch for example. As for service items such as fuel, air and oil filters for example, go for makes such as FRAM or MannHummel, Britpart fuel filters like to dissolve into mush.

I use Paddocks or LrSeries normally... but ebay can be quite good for new parts people haven't used.
Quite often I will search Lr Series for the part number is its not obvious on Paddocks and then insert the part number on Paddocks. Compare prices and even a google on the part number can get a better price.
The good thing with Paddocks is spend over £50 and get free ecconomy postage. As Pos says, don't skimp on quality if its for bearings or shocks and springs etc...

Hi Ron
I use retro anaconda as an on line referance
See link below, then just click to the relevent section & scroll down through the pages
http://www.retroanaconda.com/landrover/2010/02/land-rover-defender-110-parts-book/

Thanks Pos for a very full answer, I will look at some of the others you have mentioned. The only time I've had a problem with Paddocks was quite minor. I got a new fuel pump from them for my TD5 but it arrived damaged (not too well packaged) but the only way I could get a re-placement sent out in time for the week-end was to buy a second one which was posted out by overnight carrier and they will refund my money once they get the damaged one back. I thought this was a bit non-customer frierndly, but I was desperate to get it in time so I bit the bullet and did it their way.

Thanks also to MrJC & Tivster - this is more what I was looking for catalogues I can search for the bits for part numbers.

I'll go and have a good look at lrseries and retrosnake.

Thank you all very much.

Ron.

Try this - http://www.numcat.ru/landrover/


It's essentially Microcat online - it's Russian - but all the important stuff is in English :clap2:


There's also this, for MG-Rover cars - http://www.numcat.ru/mgrover/

.

Thanks Paul,
That russian one is the only one I have seen so far which shows the little pipes I need - although they do look as if they will come as part of the fuel pipes as a unit.
Superb.

I will need to think about getting friendly with a couple of the Polish guys at work and see if I can get them to order stuff from Polland for me - much cheaper than rip-off Britain, hee hee

Ron.

Regarding Brittpart, it's worth bearing in mind that they also supply genuine parts, ask your dealer who the manufacturer is, they can tell you as it's detailed in the price list, Allmakes likewise.

Rob.

Cheers Rob,

As it happens, the fuel lines come in pairs and the little pipe adaptor thingie I need doesn't come separately. So I've ordered the short pair which I can cut the end off and re-join to the pipe whose end I broke (sod's law, it's one of the long ones of course.) It will be easier than having to strip out the whole fuel line and re-fitting the new one, this way all I need to do is cut a few inches off the end of the broken pipe and fit a new end.

Then it'll be job done.

Thanks again everyone for their help.

Ron.
