It is funny that I don't see one of the biggest suppliers of Rover parts in the US listed. Atlantic British has been around since 1970 and has warehouses on both coasts. atlanticbritish.com or roverparts.com

Default Did you forget?

It seems one of the biggest suppliers in the USA is not on the list. Don't forget Atlantic British (also roverparts.com and British Pacific)

Which one? The post where he complained about them not being listed, or the second one where he complained about them not being listed immediately after he received two replies pointing out that they are listed and providing a list of links that included them?

Just be careful when you use the AB website or contact them for advice. There are glaring errors in their website and, sadly, the guys answering the phone don't always have the most comprehensive knowledge of all of these models. I had a customer go to their website for a fuel pump for their DII. The website was completely wrong about what fuel pump was compatible with secondary air. Thankfully, in the end, my customer trusted me and wound up with the correct part. Had he gone with what was on the website and backed up by the phone rep, he would have had the wrong part.

I brought the error to AB's attention months ago.

Discovery II Fuel Pumps | Fuel System Parts For Discovery Vehicles

It's still there. If you ask me, that's BS and shows they really don't give a F&@K.

Paul, I had the same problem with RovahFarms website as well. He had oil cooler pipes for the engine listed with the transmission middle pipe in the transmission section. Still hasn't been fixed. My recommendation to anyone is always double check part numbers when comparing costs

Did you call Trevor about the error? Did he, at least recognize there was an error? I'm telling you, some of the guys at AB wouldn't know a connecting rod from a Johnson rod!!!!

I brought the error to the attention of two different people at AB. They gave me a BS story about their IT guy being away on vacation, blah blah blah. They don't give a f%@k.
