It's the same with ebay - lots of people buy off there thinking they got a good deal after outbidding others when a lot of the time they could have got the item cheaper brand new |

Because the parts at our dealers, at least in Romania, are at least twice the price you found them on the specialty stores.

That's a fair point Alex. I was thinking more about the UK though. I appreciate that other Countries will be a different story. Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come......... |

I disagree, take the piano black dash parts. All three dash parts from LR comes to about £35.00, and I have seen people paying more from third party suppliers who get them from LR in the first place and end up paying more. I have found that 90% of LR dealers are prepared to offer a fixed discount for parts. Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather.

Nothing goes on my car that hasn't come from LR, I buy from either my dealer - who are quite good when discounting - or from Dan @ Duckworths.

There may not be on yours but it has made a significant difference to mine. It may be that there could be further issues with the suspension and or the the old tyres which I will eventually get round to but for now it is much better A pity really as for me personally the shadow chromes along with the HST kit had some influence in me obtaining the car. Next major job I think will be to replace the clutch as it is quite high. |

It could be a few things Paul. I haven't noticed any difference going to 20's either.
