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.

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.
