Hi All. Anyone bought anything from these guys? If so, would appreciate an opinion please or a recommendation of other reliable places to order quality parts. Initially I'm after a set of door hinges for my 90. Thanks in advance...

9 times out of ten I use Ebay. But I look for Terrafirma, Bearmach, OE, Original, frog Island, John Craddocks, or sometimes Paddocks, if I can guarantee it won't be Britpart.

LR direct is all you need

And YRM for metal parts, bodywork and st/st fastenings, they're very good with excellent service/delivery

Yeh plus 1 for YRM

+ 1 for L R Direct

The problem with that is britpart and now the oem supplier for plenty of parts.
My preference is paddocks or ebay for general parts. Specialist parts I use specific supplier e.g. yrm, steve parker, etc. However it is useful to have a parts manual (downloadable) so you can search by part number. you can then ad a "G" to the end of the part number to ensure it is an oem part. As mentioned above britpart (who many have a low opinion of) are now the oem supplier for many things so by ensuring you add the "G" you get the oem version rather than the aftermarket pattern part they also supply.
I will at this point also point out that i have not had issues with britpart parts like others have but I always use OEM parts for critical components and even then there have been some part that need fettling to fit due to the dubious manufacturing tolerances of a defender.
