Best bets are the mail order companies....
Paddock Spares
Land Rover Parts Shop
Mansfield Motors
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.

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.
