That’s a very small collection of images!

I have some whereby you can just about make out the Garage! It’s in there somewhere!

What makes it worse is the fact that I provided the official Bosch website images with pricing?!

Ridiculous!

Sounds about right , but in fairness can u take it up with the manager

U might like this pic, only a few components in these engines, lol

Plus pic of my mine, just finished spraying the scuttle panel and A pillar trims

I have checked out all sites without success. There is a German Company that sell aftermarket parts but even the price for that comes in at over the price listed by Bosch!

Oh to be VAT registered!
 
I’ve owned a good few Landys over the years! Once you’ve had one, there’s just no going back!

No matter the cost! And bare skinned knuckles!

Indeed, done a serious amount of work with mine, suspensions, interior , airbags

Oh and @£@#@&&@ wishbone replacements , what a job they are to do

Is my first D3 and adore the thing , can’t get over how nice they drive

Oh wow mate , u sound as additive as many of us, lol

As a side note I got a suspension Bush extractor kit , a lot cheaper than Land Rover wanted

Know what u mean though m they get under ur skin , alas u always end up spending more money to just get them up to scratch

Great piccies

Just out of curiosity why do you need to be VAT reg?

Don’t you know a friendly garage or have a friend who owns there own business?

I’m self employed as a Vehicle Air Conditioning Specialist although not VAT registered.

I spend my time doing everything to assist my customers with a cracking service that is second to none!

I undertake work for dealerships, garages etc believing I am giving them a true honest and highly competitive service however, I have approached a few who appear to be none participating and unhelpful to be honest.

If the offer is not there, I will not beg for it.

I have been left somewhat disappointed by the lack of help.

Unfortunately, it’s the times we live in I’m afraid.

Shame the way people don’t like to help out these days. And it seems too much trouble to just place an order.

Got a friendly pub landlord:)

Still confused as to why Bosch only sell to VAT reg folks though or is it they will only sell to proper garages?

Anyway well done for taking on the project and hope you can find something.
