Where to buy toys from?

Morning All,

What mail order company do you order from, for bits / toys like tow ropes, steering gaurds etc..? quaility and good price in mind. I am thinking of buying some toys for my 59plate fender 110.

Thank you fellow and fellowesses of the best shed on wheels.

What he said. I've found the best aid to online shopping is a part number list for my particular model, then it's so much easier to locate the particular nuts, bolts, grommets and bushes - all the little bits and pieces where you don't quite know what they're called. Stick a part number in Google and see whose got it cheapest. Check out what people on here have to say about Britpart before spending too much of your hard-earned with them.

Britpart is a manufacturer (and repackager) of parts and not a distributor and theres nowt wrong with britpart as long as your expectations are in the right place (you buy cheap, you get cheap). Personally I have ised a fair few britpart parts and had no issues, it seems the fashion to slate britpart nowdays...

As said, Paddocks, Craddocks, Island4x4, they are all very similar. Mew personally I get part numbers and use google to find the cheapest, I got an order from Paddocks turning up soon, have found them very good..

Cheers Guys that is a stroke of genuis as i would never have thought to get a part number list, sooooo next question where do i get a parts number list.. i am guessing landrover direct or google?

Thanks again guys

paddocks are good as long as the part is correct and working, don't expect a refund from them! what parts you looking for?

Hi Just ordered a steering guard from paddock. Next thing will be 3mm chequer plate for the bonnet and wing tops and a snow cowl me thinks.

I use Craddocks, much better than Paddocks

Customer service is far better

i got some chequer plate from Girly Landy it was cheaper than paddocks

Not sure if this will help you buy my wife gets her toys from Ann summers
