I've been ordering from Atlantic British and have no complaints, but thought I would take a poll here and see if any of you experienced hands have a favorite source for factory parts - large and small.

For example I'm a stickler for the right nuts and bolts and such and since the shop manual doesn't tell me the sizes - I'd rather call up a knowledgeable rover tech and get a whole kit than pick through parts bins locally.

 

Well, IMO.. I trust roverlandparts for good rebuilt parts that include a 30-60 day warranty. I bought my replacement air springs from arnott b/c they have a great reputation and they offer a lifetime warranty on their air springs. Atlantic British is good if I can't find the part used, which is rare. Once again this is just my opinion.

I go to Rover Connection first. They have a smaller selection, but seem to have the best prices for new parts.

After that I go to Atlantic British.

I've used three companies so far. www.Roverlandparts.com, Atlantic British and Roversnorth and all three was excellent. I dealt with Lester at AB and he is very knowledgable and friendly as was the people I talked with at Roversnorth. Both of those places don't just sell you a part for the sake of a sale, they make sure you are getting what you want and why you want it. Roverlandparts is a good place for used Rover parts, I got a heater core there and it was perfect.

I buy most of my rover-only type parts from our local L-R dealer. They give me a 10% discount which helps and prices are usually the same or less than what I see on the Atlantic Brittish site at least for the parts I've needed (some things are less on A/B). They never have anything I need in stock, so it's about a 2 day wait, but there are no shipping charges (which are kind of high these days).I've ordered brake parts and a few other trinkets from Atlantic Brittish as well and they've been good. Other items that are more universal I've gotten at Autozone.
