Default Help locating modifications in Spain

Hi all,

I have just bought a 2003 td5 with a view to creating a part-time expedition vehicle, more used for week long camping trips and holidays in Morocco.

Problem is I live in Spain and it is a lot harder to get parts out here. Do any of you know of companies that are based in Europe or that ship to Spain.

Also any hints and tips would be awesome, I thought I wanted a lift kit but I think instead I am going to go for upgraded suspension instead, the disco still has to be relatively comfortable on the road as I want to do road trips to the Pyrenees etc.

Any help or advice would be great

Buy your parts and spares in the UK as many ship to EU states and your choice is far greater and usually far cheaper. France for LR parts is a defo no no as they charge mega bucks.

Google Landrover Discovery 2 spares or parts and you will be inundated with options online.

If you have any problems PM me and I'll send you some reliable links.

PS. TD5 good choice and solid super reliable. I run a 2003 with 130K miles and so far no problems.

PPS. Take a look at the Terrafirma catalogue for shockers and springs.

Try some of these

but avoid Britparts unless it's for non stressed, non wearing bolt on goodies.
