Duckworth's in the UK for parts

Duckworth's sponsor this site and I can now vouch for them as their service was excellent and my parts arrived in just over a week.
I told them what I was after and they made sure I had the correct part via my VIN number.

I just saved a lot of money on a new rear lamp unit compared to buying in Australia.

ie:
UK price for my light $192 (inc. delivery)
Oz price averaged at $350 (collect)
A difference of $158 Surprised

This is a shame, as I like to give the local LR "non dealer" parts supply guys my business but I won't though until they become more competitive.

Either they are ripping US off, or THEY are getting ripped off!

I'd also would prefer to support the local official LR dealer, but the prices (and customer service) here in Switzerland is just plain robbery with disdain. Everyone moans about fat cat Bankers, well there's also gluttonous LR artiodactyl's banqueting at the trough at our fiscal peril.

My take on this is that it is probably not the individual LR dealers that are icing the cake, but the official Importer/Country Distributor that feasts on sturgeon and swan. So I also use a very obliging chap in Yeovil UK from Martin's D4 site.
