Anderzander Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Dunsfold have permanently closed their doors 😞 and they are putting together bundles of their stock to be sold via auction on their website .... worth a look if you can make use of a batch of model specific parts. Lots being added over the coming year. https://auction.dunsfold.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landroversforever Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Just found this: Quote Dunsfold DLR has now closed due to Philip retiring after many happy years trading since 1968. The workshops and parts departments are now closed. I will be concentrating my time on the wonderful Dunsfold Collection. Thank you for your custom over the years. Philip The Sealed bid tender for the parts disposal for all models of Land Rover is now live so please follow the link button to view the lots. There will be some used parts as well when the weather gets warmer. Please see the attached list of parts and work out your bid price and then submit your bid. We have put a potential retail value (JLR recommended prices) in the listing to give you a idea of lot value. A lot of the parts for the older models are now obsolete from suppliers and are new old genuine stock.  original was unreadable with the green on black so edited to make it much easier to read. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snagger Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 What a pity that it couldn’t continue under new ownership.  DLR were the best suppliers by far, in my view. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did look at someone else taking the service/parts business over to give employees continuity, but obviously that didn’t work out.

reb78 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I wonder if one of the few decent online land rover parts suppliers might buy up the majority of the kit. I was looking for PDWA valve the other day in case I need to replace mine and the only option is aftermarket Britpart.... not keen.... so I thought I would try Dunsfold and saw the note that they were closed.

roamingyak Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Shame, I took my Landy there when I first started in 2000, they did all the mechanics of my rebuild, 112,000km around Africa without any serious or even medium level faults.... Never found mechanics so good after them.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
