There seems to have been a lot of people 'having a go' at Paddocks on here
recently. I feel I must redress the balance somewhat. Over the last 12
months I have spent in excess of £2K on my Ninety. At least half of this, if
not more was spent at Paddocks. I use Paddocks regularly for replacement LR
parts. Accesories for off-roading I buy from wherever has what I need (QT,
Rebel, Simmonites etc). For standard replacement parts like C.V. joints,
propshafts, wheelbearings, seals and incidentally, a fuel lift pump that
fitted better than the original I find Paddocks hard to beat on price. On
the quality front I've had no problems. When replacing my rear shocks I was
offered no less than 4 alternatives of different manufacture and quality
available off the shelf! The inward facing rear seats I bought were great.
The counter staff have given me much advice about what to buy and why. I
have never been steered down the most expensive route when taking this
advice either. Next time I need a spare part, guess who I'll happily phone
first?
