I love paddocks :)
« on: February 10, 2006, 12:02:59 »
Been looking all over the web for a water pump for me v8.
Had a few quotes...
£190
£150
£102
 :shock:  :shock:
Now the funny thing is i all ways use paddocks, but i never thought to ring them.....i was having a blonde moment  :?
Then lisa said *why dont you try paddocks?*
so i did  :D
Got the pump, a dizzy cap and rotor arm for just over £30  :D  :D
So once again i'd like to say...I LOVE PADDOCKS  :D

Yep, it always amazes me how much they go for on eBay. You could set up a nice little business based on buying them from Paddocks and flogging them on eBay!

Being in the motor industry, I can get some good prices for parts, but I can't get a water pump for the price Paddocks are selling them at.

They are Land rover parts specialist, but do some general related accessories which can be used on other vehicles

The phone service in general is good, I prefer a visit, 30 mins away :wink:

I only ordered mine (water pump) yesterday so it hasn't arrived yet. Think it was about £35 from memory.

I've seen them go on eBay for £60!

The cheapest V8 pump I can find on their web site is £29.40. Most of them are from £35-£45. I hope they are sending you the right one!

Paddocks are great. I just ordered the safari snorkel for Johnty's birthday aswell as something else but forgot a minor detail. Anyway Paddocks phoned me like 20 minutes after I placed the order just to get the detail I forgot (can't say too much as Johnty might see this) so hopefully next week his birthday pressies will arrive all present and correct  :lol:
