Thank youI like using a mix of famour four, and lrdirect, at the moment. famour four seem to default to good quality components where possible - i.e. they use timken bearings when they sent me a bearing kit. lrdirect are great too, declaring the various makes available. They also have a "LRD workshop approved" tag on some of the makes..... generally nothing made by britpart has that tag!
exactly why i use them, i like their LRD approved tag aswellI get most of my parts from lr direct, and as above you can choose which brand you want to avoid getting any useless cheap ****'e.
my partner is a full time project, but i was meaning the landyWelcome to loony zoon pal, when you say she used to be someones project are you talking about the tratter or your partner?
There is a full part number list on the defender section which makes it easier to compare prices on the net
