Discovery 2 Watts Link Assembly ? Lucky 8 Parts and Accesories for Land Rovers

It is impossible to price match UK pricing. We have to pay import fees and duties. If you bring in a small part, you usually can fly under the radar without the fees. One nice thing about purchasing from a local vendor is that we can give you support when your part doesn't fit or is damaged. Good luck sending it back to the UK. I don't recall the last time Craddock sponsored a US event either.

i emailed then and and that's what they said. I understand completely since they do have to pay all the import fees and everything else since they do have a business to run. Just hate that the fees drive the price that high. But I will continue to by from lucky 8 since they always do get the stuff I need and quick

Lucky8 have the DA1199 linkage for $190. Presumably they order it from the same UK supplier as the British places.
When it comes time for me to order one (which will be soon) that's where I'm headed.

I would have ordered this part from you but couldn't find it on your site. I selected Discovery II - Suspension- Watts Linkage and DA119 did not populate, sorry.

I sure like
Rimmer Brothers - Triumph Car Parts, MG Rover Car Parts, and Land Rover Car Parts and Spares

They are very decent and have stuff that no one else has.

They have stuff that everyone has. If you cant find something, just ask. We all use the same 4 suppliers.
