Yippee! I'm putting my 1970 2a back on the road soon after five years of
being laid-up and I have a shipping order for the first LR website I can
access all the parts from, but I find;

The Paddock website "http://www.paddockspares.com/mcp/SERIES.html" is
now un-navigable, I've clicked on "series" and it returns the same page
stuck in a loop, probably Javascript, and why when they don't need
JavaScript for simple menu navigation.

The Craddock website "http://www.johncraddockltd.co.uk/" uses a weird
list that appears endless without scroll bars so you've no idea how long
the list is until its finished loading, only then to find the item you
seek doesn't have an image, in fact "no image available" appears to be
the norm on all their products, How are you expected to purchase an item
you cant see?

The Mersey Land Rover website "http://lr.merseyworld.com/" (now LR
centre) at least is navigable but I still can't find all the items I
need.


Hmm, I wonder if *Beamends* has the following items?

Are you there Richard?


New brake master cylinder,
New water pump,
New steering box, mainly the gearbox end with bollys etc.
New original complete full set of seats with frame,
New series 3 type mirror (fits on the door hinge),
New door rubbers,
New quarter length canvas, in green,
Five new track-rod ends.

Probably more bits when I do a proper inspection


Steve.

buggered if I know. The new site works on mouseover, assuming you have
javascript and a suitable browser. I sent 'em email about it, but got no
response. Not likely to improve their customer numbers, IMHO - it's more
fiddly to use than the old one.

Beamends' website is nice and simple, though:

You must start Paddocks from www.paddockspares.com and then follow the links
otherwise it just doesn't work.
Hope this helps!

Using Firefox and Paddocks is working OK for me at the moment.

It makes no difference here, just serves up the same error page ;(

I didn't realise Beamends site was so comprehensive, easy to use and the
search engine works too ;)

I'll contact them for prices etc.

It is probably my browser that causes the problem.
I've just looked at their source code, what a mess, there's over 80
errors on the main page with elements and meta tags all over the place
and overused JavaScript to boot, no wonder it doesn't work for me.

I'll go elswhere.

Steve.

I think their quote;
"You will find all of our faster moving parts and accessories available
for you to purchase 24 hours a day, 365 days a year."
is fine if only I could actually find the parts.

I've gone elsewhere

Anything not on the site yet gets added when someone asks for a quote.

You'll need to look in SIII as well for some bits, II/IIa/III are being
merged (slowly!).
