has anyone used bearmach for parts? How are their body panels?

Has anyone got experiences of the marsland chassis? Or even both?

Thanks for the additional info, same as any other oem then for other cars etc - you pay for what you get within reason. I know I’m going to need “a lot” of new bits! So just wanted to know if there was anyone in particular that should be avoided. I will canvas some opinions as she un folds...

Defender 90 - td5

Had a look at the sticky - looks like it’s up to 1995 - any suggestions to find a td5 version? Mines the 10p later 2001

Hence my dilemma between R & M versions... Richards winning on price...?

What’s the option on this? Also what price was it... as website doesn’t have them online. I hear there is a Irish coming producing them also, but mixed reviews.

Im pretty much on the re chassis, just wanted to canvas opinion. I’m doing a full strip down, My biggest worry is patching up just means I have to do it again... just in a few years time!!! any one have experience of the 2 chassis manufactures above?

On the Richards vs marshland: from my understanding Richards is 100% in house build where I believe marshland “did” use original Land Rover rails and components... anyone got more on this? but quite a big difference in cost. Opinions?

Thanks everyone. So I’m pretty fortunate to have a fabricator and mechanic on site and reasonably handy myself so labour should be pretty low... parts I think could be less than £700... but as Gmacz said... is it just a patch... Just wondered if it would retain a better value with a original...

Hi all, so next big decision is whether to re chassis or not? Any opinions? is it best to keep the “original” or Better to go galvanised? chassis has been patched before... and pretty much needs new outriggers all round + rear cross member and probably suspension mounts etc. I have a highly...

Any suggestions where to find a parts catalogue to download?

Thank you for this, really useful and highly helpful. On the LR parts when I went to search through their catalogue nothing was really coming up, but I will preserve and look for a parts catalogue for reference

No parts found...

Just had a look on LR direct... but doesn’t seem to list anything for my td5 on parts search?!!! Do you need the part numbers? Strange...

Any opinions on body panels? Who produces the best?

Thanks I found yrm as have a few bits that need replacing. Just wondered if there was any better quality parts suppliers out there or key companies to look at first.

Hi All, so new to the land of Land Rover... ( did once have a rusty disco!!) anyway - I'm planning a full rebuild of lovely rusty TD5!!! and am currently scouring all the main guys for parts, but wondered if anyone had opinions on who's best for what or who to avoid etc... any help and advice is...

She will be... one day

Is it right that they did use the later head on the 10p?
