A couple of years ago you could buy a td5 bulkhead from a main dealers for just £146+vat but not many people knew this, main suppliers like Craddocks and Paddocks, Simmonites soon found out and bought them in significant quantities for Land rover to be aware they were underpriced.
 Consequently the price for a new td5 bulkhead is now in the region of £700 from the main dealers, but you can still find them at places that had plenty of stock
Simmonites are advertising them for £464.13 thats still a good price considering the work involved in making one, and its always nice to work with a brand new panel compared with a second hand one.
 You can always find a good second hand one with all the bits still attached on ebay though for anything from £100 upwards, or try one of the clearout sales like Newbury this weekend.

There's a description of how I changed my bulkhead, with photos, here: http://www.mud-club.com/forum/index.php/topic,55219.0.html

The LR Centre in Speke, Liverpool did have some TD5 bulkheads at £199 (that's where mine came from) & Paddocks did have some, but were a little more expensive.
