Subject: LR Parts Vendor List

I was thinking about compiling a list of vendors of LR parts, new or used,
and placing this on my website for everyone's information.  For those of us
living a ways from decent suppliers, I thought that it would be handy.  I
suppose I could list service places also.

Anyway, if anyone wishes, please e-mail me information that you have on any
suppliers.  Useful info would include...

- Business name
- Contact name
- Phone, fax, e-mail
- Website
- Description of the range of parts covered.
- Is a catalog available?  If so, cost..
- If you have used them, your feelings on level of service.
- Anything else that you could think of

The site page will be here
http://www.geocities.com/Baja/Dunes/7501/auslrparts.html

I'll get something up in the next few days and put up the places that I know
about.

Regards,

John Barge

I should not butt in here because I am not Disco literate, but I would be
reluctant to use the spare tyre as a climbing mechanism if it is attached to
the rear door. The Defender fixtures do not have my confidence as spare tyre
holder apart from as a ladder - there are rumours/myths/legends that the weight
of the tyre slowly damages the hinges on rough roads. Others with long term
personal experience feel free to disagree, all my Defender owing colleagues
independently took one look at the spare tyre and made other arrangements
straight away. Maybe they are paranoid or too inclined to believe myths and
legends....

Hi John,  great minds think alike.  I have been working on a Range Rover
webpage for the last week and have compiled (partly) a spare parts page, you
are welcome to include any of the listings on my page.
http://www.comcen.com.au/~blumx/Homepage_spares.html
My webpage is in the very early stages and access is only available to the
spare parts and paint codes pages
this includes all mistakes.
Keith
