Default a few replacement parts search, 2001 D2

Howdy guys.

I've recently obtained a fantastic 2000 D2. I love it. I have a broken left rear tail light/blinker assembly that I have previously sourced for like $35, and the same site had replacement D2 wiper blades for like $6 apiece. My problem is that I can't find the link. RoverLand is out of stock on the tail light and they are like $35 for the wiper blade combo. That was not the site I originally found. Also, I need a stock, replacement rear plastic bumper cover. I've also found them for around $240, but can't fine anyplace where they are in stock (i'm currently in AZ). Can somebody hit me up via PM or just in this thread with a link to a good, close, reliable parts source that is NOT RL.com?

Buy a pair of these.
Wiper Arm - Front (PRC8236 Same Fit As Part # DKB102710) - Land Rover wiper blades\washers from Atlantic British
Then you can buy wiper blades anywhere, including the gas station.
As for the other stuff, e-bay, RovahFarm - Parts for Land Rover Cars and Accessories - Land Rover Discovery, Range Rover, LR3, LR2, Land Rover Defender, Freelander and Land Rover Series and Google.

I'll put a x2 on the D1 wiper arms. The D1 arms allow you to connect the universal clip on wiper blades instead of having to source OEM specific blades from LR. Also, while AB is a great source and usually cheaper, check out rovers north for the wiper arms as for the same price as 2 arms from AB you can get 2 arms, 2 caps (you'll need these too!) and 2 blades. You can even save more if you get the cheaper proline (chinese) kit. A negative point on this kit tho is they only come with 18in blades, you're better off with 21in blades to get more coverage.

The blades in the profile kit are crap anyway, so you can just pretend they didn't come with it.

Ha, yes pretty much, but as I said you do get genuine caps with it too so in the end the kit is still slightly cheaper than the AB one and you can order it in 1 shot.

You dont need those caps, they are for "finishing" only, in other words, they cover your nuts.
