Default Anyone order from John Craddock in the UK? I just saved $100

Couldn't find watts linkage bushings for under $80 each on this side of the pond. Just received and entire unit with the bushings already installed for $150. No having to press the bushings out, it's now a bolt on job and I got a new watts linkage not just the bushings.

I am also interested in a Mantec raised intake:

John Craddock- $289+ $60 shipping
Rovers North - $498 + shipping
Lucky8- $504 + shipping

I'll definitely be checking John Craddock before I make another parts purchase. Didn't really take that long to receive the order either. Maybe a week?

Ha, yeah. It's probably been outlawed over there.

If you know the part number, check http://www.lrdirect.com they are across the pond and ship here and have the best prices I've seen yet.

Do you have a part number for the whole linkage? I can only find the standalone bushings.

check with paddock spares for the mantec intake. They are a little cheaper thank John craddock if I'm not mistake. PM201 | Mantec Raised Air Intake - Discovery 2 TD5 and V8 - Paddock Spares
there is the link and it converts to $237.75 U.S. dollars plus shipping

I figure as much as Justin and Eric are on here, they would try to price match or come close so we could give them the business

I agree. $500 is insane. If they would go as low as $375 every rover in the US would have a raised air intake.
