Ok, I have WAY too much time on this forum to be asking this question, but I have to. I've used the Advanced Search but for the life of me, I can't find the right search term. Can someone please remind me of the thread where folks posted their favorite links to Parts suppliers for the Defender? Sorry to ask a redundant question, but I have to throw up my hands and beg forgiveness. Thanks!! (Oh, and if this thread is new to you, I'll hijack that thread - just post what you use here!!)

Thanks again!

FWIW - I love the Palm Beach Land Rover for the best search, but their prices are breathtaking.

this is what I’ve used.

also in the search, if you’ve contributed to it the thread will have a green check mark. You can search the threads you’ve replied to. Might help with your search.

or this might be it.

Parts are truly a tiny, tiny bit overpriced if you source from the traditional sources. I have had good luck finding OEM parts on this site:

Land Leaping

Then if looking for more trim related I have found

Aliexpress

to have the best prices. Only problem, your clothes may go out of style waiting for them. Usually it take two weeks to get anything from China. It turns out that a large number of Defender parts are made there. Big surprise. I too have too much time on my hands, trip to Middle East got pushed back. Lots of hiking instead.

 

Thanks a ton @GavinC and @Dogpilot !! Princes amongst men! I'm now going to bookmark this thread....

 

+1 on Land Leaping. Although they tend to make up their discount in shipping feels.

 

it sounds stupid, but I ordered three lugnuts from Land Leaping Saturday AM for a new 110 (don't ask... the dealer didn't get it after buying a 103K vehicle plus a 10 year warranty a month ago, and I caught this on the hand-over). I got a tracking number two hours later. The price more than made up for shipping. Landing Leaping will be my first check anytime I need something from here out.

 

I've used -- https://landrover.oempartsonline.com/ as they are located in Raleigh, NC and I live in NC, so the shipping was quite reasonable. I believe https://landrover.oempartsonline.com/ uses a "network" of Land Rover parts distributors. I often check prices on their site and I believe https://www.landleaping.com is part of that network as 99% of the time the price on the oempartsonline store matches Land Leaping's price.
