I ordered all my accessories from duckworthparts.co.uk & Irparts.net both suppliers orders were delivered in about a week. Freight from UK hurts but it's still cheaper & quicker than buying locally. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

Hi Taztastic, you are kind, thank you. I've enquired by email to duckworthparts.co.uk if they can ship the mirror directly to me. If it doesn't work I'll send you a PM. Thanks mate. ![]() Hey Lightwater, it seems Irparts.net doesn't exist any more, but I found another online retailer (Britishparts Online) that might ship to Oz (still waiting for their response): http://britishparts.co.uk/t/land-rover/fre...ngs?page=2 |

Thanks Dan, cool service, straight forward ordering and payment and about 40% less than what the Oz dealers will demand from you. I will update when the part arrives. Hey! |

To all brothers and sisters in Oz, who drive a FL2 - we are held hostage by the local Land Rover dealerships!

Vesko that is true I cracked a tail light lens and needed to replace the whole assy.At that time I used company called famous four and the assy was 89 pound so I also ordered 2 service kits and a couple of extra oil filters . They come back with the price which was good but the postage was 110 pound as it was quite a large parcel and the total was $811 . I did a double take but it still said 811 pound so I went to the local dealer and enquired about the price of the tail light assy only,$809 thank you. you can figure out the rest

Hey Vesko, are you still running 245/70 17R's? Any issues with gear ratio changes / suspension travel or anything else?

Hi Martin, yes I'm still with them and warmly recommend them. Initially I feared they might put some strain on the engine/gear box as I imagine larger wheels should require more power. No problem whatsoever - the FL2 climbed Mt Pinnibar and as recently as two days ago Mt Coree without any straggle. The tyres don't touch anywhere and provide more comfortable ride. My only concern is how would they fare in muddy conditions - there is not much space left there, if the mud sticks, there will be a problem. I guess I would just avoid muddy possibilities |
