Famous Four are O.K. I have used them with no problems.

Others I have used with no problems are MM4x4 and Dingocroft.

Hi landy lovers... I think paddocks are great.. never had a problem... great disc brakes (drilled and vent)...

I've had no problem with Paddocks, good service and very reasonable postage charges

Rimmer Bros is another matter.

i've used famous four a lot. their website is very good. lots of accurate photos.

i spoken to them on the phone too and they are most helpful!

i did have one quite serious overcharging problem but the managing director called me straight away and sorted it all out.

even after that i would still highly recommened them as the customer service is excellent.

Paddocks can be hard for returns but apart form that they have been ok , apart from you never know if they are going to send you britpart ****e! :doh:

Can highly reccomend MM4x4.Shipped parts out to portugal for me over christmas,they arrived within 5 days.
As for Paddocks,Wot fett says

Datatek · Jan 6, 2010

Most of the stuff I've had from Rimmers has been ****part and not always the right part!

fett · Jan 6, 2010

I also had some trouble with www.land-rover-parts-shop , till I got very stroppy they were ignoring my emails and they are ultra slow on returns too!

Cavey_P38 · Jan 16, 2010

well Famous Four were very helpful and switched on. I had only ordered 1 pollen filter and they were staright on the email to tell me i needed 2

they were very helpful on the phone with answers to my questions, web site very easy to use

Parts arrived on time

All good so far

Not had any problems with Paddocks, just their preferred carrier Fed-EX. Have use MM 4x4 and LR parts in Liverpool, both easy to deal with.

Funny thing is if you go in Craddocks shop theres only 1 fecker serving and 15 other talking on the phones......

Your a moaning git Sirus..don't you realise that you can spend a fortune whilst browsing around the shop and admiring the sights of Cannock.

Rimmers are quick on delivery..if they have it in stock..not the cheapest. Brilliant website. Island 4X4 are competitive on price and also quick to deliver..you get what you pay for.

Bought a Britpart gasket and it has not leaked in 5 years so what's your problem ???
