Purchasing Parts from UK
Has anyone have any experience ordering parts from the United Kingdom for the D2.
I have generally ordered from Rover Parts Dealers in the States along with Amazon/Advance/EBay so far but in researching to replace the Front ABS Sensor I have found that the parts can be had generally cheaper.
Example
Long ABS Front Sensor -- Atlantic British -- $145 plus shipping (lets say $10) -- Front Brake Sensor (Genuine Part # SSW500020) - Parts For The Land Rover Discovery II ABS System -- not sure if this a Rover Mfg part or same as below?
Long ABS Front Sensor (aftermarket) -- John Craddock in UK -- $42.30 plus Shipping (shipping would be about another $20 to $30 -- that is what I was quoted one time for a Hub so the sensor should be no more than this) -- SSW500020 - SENSOR FRONT DRIVE SHAFT DISCOVERY 2 - Discovery 2 Parts
(same part is available on EBay -- different vendor)
Only reason I am interested is that I currenlty have an Amigo showing the "ABS Sensor Low Output" and if I have to replace the sensor I would like to get it right the first time and eliminate the engine bay connection if that is a possible connection issue.
I just replaced the left hub with a used one from Paul Grant -- should of replaced the damn sensor while I was there but was hoping the Amigo issues was due to the bad hub.
Thanks

I have ordered from Brookwells.co.uk (TF SLS Spacers, steering damper & +2 brake lines) and britishparts.co.uk (Watts bushings & ACE filter)
Both experiences were good. Shipping is usually more expensive. In both situations, It was still cheaper to order from the UK. I got the britishparts order the day after I ordered it.
I am also looking at shop4autoparts.net for a oil pump gear set, timing chain & gears. I have to do a valley gasket and debating on doing heads, oil pump & timing chain. I still have to do an oil pressure test before I make my decision.
