Best bets are the mail order companies....

Paddock Spares (http://www.paddockspares.com/)
Land Rover Parts Shop (http://www.land-rover-parts-shop.com)
Mansfield Motors (http://www.mansfieldmotorsltd.com)


There will be plenty more suggestions I'm sure, and which is cheapest will depend on the time of year.

Also, if you can wait for a week or so, you will get all the parts from somewhere like Billing for even less money.

I've used Difflock a few times - just got my oil, oil filter, fuel filter, etc from them. Very good service :)

If you order over £50 from Paddocks they do free postage, also take into account that if you are servicing it, its worth getting at least a second set of bits at the same time. :wink:

Why not put a K&N air filter in - it will cost you more but won't need looking at for 50,000 miles and won't need replacing for a long time after that.  Meanwhile your engine will breathe better & performance/economy can improve.
