good parts suppliers? pipe work etc
« on: July 03, 2008, 20:15:57 »
Hi im currently doing a disco 200tdi convo into my series motor and having some fun making/finding/tweaking pipes to fit!
im still in need of a intercooler pipe but no standard landy bits will fit, so anyone know of good mail order places?
many thanks

my dad runs a series 1 disco and he goes to places like paddock, but for custom stuff just check out the back of LRO and other off road/ land rover mags. let us know how it goes.

cheers for that link, seems good bits but hard to chose from pictures and nothings ever that cheap that you can just over-order, hmm might try some scrapheaps first me thinks!

I'll second Paddock for the more common parts - great service and sensible prices. Most of the stuff on my truck came from them!
