It is my opinion that in recent years Britpart have upped their game, doing more testing on the parts that suppliers send and rejecting the poor stuff. There is also the issue of " Fake" stuff. Had some Brake cylinders from on line site that...

Thank you 👍

Looking good, above the bumper mine is, but don’t have reversing light, want to make sure wiring comes into the little covers inside tub

Thanks for the reply. I'll move them in a bit then, more central to the quarter panel or a ⅓ in? I've fitted the reflectors onto the crossmember at the outermost points, as that's where they were previously.

Nearly lost the will to live Friday and Saturday. Tried connecting up the new wiring loom, but being totally colour blind made the task impossible. Gave up in the end and am taking the OH's advice and finding an auto electrician. Still, I...

With regards to Paddocks make sure you find out the supplier/manufacturer first ..........if they will tell you. AFTERMARKET means anything could turn up. Actually they have worse than Britpart, believe it or not.

Yes, forgot to mention that, don't want to end up with s h i t part

Did you know that 'BRITPART' is an anagram of 'WHY DO THESE BUGGERS NEVER FIT I'M GETTING REALLY TIRED OF THIS'. 😆

P a Blanchard for original parts Yrm for new high quality reproduction parts Paddock spares are very good for pattern parts , in stock and supplied quickly. Land rover treasure for obscure parts. All of the above are very good companies to do...

Hmmm. They might be slow, noisy, etc etc but my series have saved my arse and my families over the years, series got the wife to hospital while having sprog 1 in thick snow when my new merc amg died, got us through flash floods in Spain and...

Air suspension all day, dead reliable, how often do you hear of d2/d3/4/rr with suspension problems, thats right never!

On my 1982 the measurement will vary depending on whether you measure to the top or the bottom of the instrument panel as it wider at the bottom than at the top. (ie its a trapezoid not a rectangle) Measurement from centre of aux panel to top...

Could someone have altered the settings to "disarm with key"? Griff

Evening all. The warmer (slightly) weather and longer evenings have found me once again continuing to rebuild Noel, my lwb S3. I was going to fit some glass over the weekend, but have hit a snag. I've worked out the galvanized bits go at the...

They might be crap but not as crap as the new ones.

Series ones smell bad though, because they don't have coil springs probably.

Depends on your definition. In terms of safety, economy, ergonomics. Yes, crap. In terms of long term ownership, resilience, dependability, avoidance of fragile electronics, and simplicity they are excellent. And coil springs aren't as good...

Plenty of modern crap still with leaf springs on the rear axle. Series of all models are pretty crap, 90/110/defenders also crap, though people seem to get really upset when you say that, so it is always worth a mention every now and then!

All old vehicles are slightly rubbish, however that's not the reason we like them......ok it a little bit of the reason......ok it the main reason
