Title: Anyone used Specialist Leisure?
Post by: Barry Scott on August 15, 2005, 20:49:14: Just wondering if anyone has used www.specialist-leisure.co.uk and if so how they got on.

I have emailed them about a winch bumper for an Isuzu that may fit my Frontera and just wondered what they are like.

Speak to Pat, he is the boss a nice bloke.

As for price, they had some very good deals at Billing.

Do you mean Patrick (of white Wrangler (http://community.webshots.com/photo/96564302/178135591KouNlx) & red Hummer) Kears, I know him (a friend of bro-in-law) & he still lives a few miles from me, as far as I know.

He's got quite a collection of JEEP rarities (or had, anyway)

Post by: Tom Mc on August 16, 2005, 00:26:25: Good guy Pat - a real enthusiast.

Okay, he maybe into Jeeps, but we don't hold that against him! Gotta say, he's not blinkered so can see the best (and worst) in all 4x4's.

Quite simply, I'd rather be dealing with an enthusiast on the end of the phone rather than a machine spurred on simply by pound notes and nowt else.

Too true. So far anyone I have spoken to about 4x4's seems to be happy to go out of their way to help you. Members here, Devon 4x4 and the Mud Club admins.

It's like walking into a pub for the first time and reaching the bar to find the landlord polishing a mug with you name on and moving towards your favirote drink pump.

I am sure there are some right gits (the Land Cruiser onwer mentioned in the August TOR Triangle Vert article comes to mind) but I am yet to speak to one.

Post by: Priglet on August 16, 2005, 08:44:29: Last year I purchased a high lift from Specialist Leisure at one of the year. I also wanted 90/110 adapter which they weren't able to supply at that time but when one became available posted it out to me at no extra charge.

Although some of there items may be a bit expensive I can't fault their customer service.

Post by: Owen on August 16, 2005, 10:55:24: I have to agree, there customer service was great, they knew what they were talking about. But there prices are a little crazy! Last time I talked to them I was after a diff guard for my ZJ, nowt flash just somthing functional. They wanted Ã‚Â£146 :shock:

Expensive :?

Remember i'm a Land Rover driver and all of the products i've looked at were more expensive than other sources.
Compared to Paddocks/Craddocks and even Scorpion Racing they are slightly dearer.
As i said, great products, but slightly over priced for the person that can shop around.

PS, wicked stand at Billing!!
Loved this Land Rover
:shock: :D
