mickeyw Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 I used to go to David Halley at Brockham near Dorking for a lot of my LR parts. His encyclopedic knowledge of the parts books took some beating, and also a good person for sourcing hard to find parts, not to mention a good general chat. I have been trying to phone him for the last 3 weeks, without any luck. Does anyone know of his whereabouts? Is he on holiday, or has he decided to put his parts book back on the shelf for good? I hope not the latter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mseries3 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Been doing some digging on this, as it is fairly local to me and i had never heard of him. Can't find much on David Halley, However there is someone (His son?) called Paul Halley running Pegasus Parts. They make brand new bulkheads for Series Landys i belive. Having looked at Pegasus Parts website before, they are bloody expensive. If you need parts and are down this way, i would recommend going to Insideout 4x4 in Capel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not heard of Pegasus parts though, but if they make series 1 bits they will be expensive anyway! I know Inside Out 4x4, but David's business is/was a very different affair, dealing almost entirely in parts, and happy to export to far flung places. If you need something rare for a series 1, military, or anything rather obsure/ no longer available there was a fair chance he might have it, or at least know where to find it. Be good to know of his whereabouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Pegasus Parts are mail order only, the chap runs it out of his garage. Although he did say that if he had something in I could go and pick it up, but he didn't have what I needed. Don't know what stage their bulkhead project is at now, but I know they're costly!

andmoose Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Hi - Just seen your question about Dave Halley. His business is temporarily not trading as he has been ill. We are currently in the process of taking on Halley's, with Dave's blessing, as a going concern and will be able to offer Landrover Parts at the same competitive price and with an extensive knowledge of Land Rover parts. Bear with us whilst we are sorting stock and premises but hope to restart trading within the next two weeks. We'll post some info on this site when we are ready. Andy and Ian.

Bomag Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Any updates on this? Nearly 4 months have passed now. Hows David doing? Does anyone have a contact address for him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halleys of Surrey Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Im sorry that getting Halleys up and running is taking its time but we are now quite near to be opening soon. Myself (Ian) and Andy have bought all the stock from 'Halleys of Dorking', we have also bought the customer list and more importantley his 'stock list'. It has taken an age to pack all the stock and find a new premises to run it from, also to arrange an accontant, bank accounts, visa machines, telephone line etc, the list seems endless! The new company will be called 'Halleys of Surrey' and will be located at 'Redhill Aerodrome'. We hope that we will carry on the good work David Halley started many years ago, and we will hopefully be guided by his expertise as he is very interested to see this venture succeed. We will be getting a BT phone line and internet connection installed by the end of next week and will announce all contact details very soon. David Halley is doing well and I can pass on your emails or post to him if you would like. Once again sorry for the delay, Regards, Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bomag Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Cant wait to see this company up and running. David always provided a brilliant service and top prices only surpassed by his stunning encyclopedic knowledge of Land Rover parts from the very earliest to the newest.

Halleys of Surrey Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Thank you so much for your kind words. I will pass your kind words on to David as we are usually in contact most days! It has taken us so much longer than we thought to get 'Halleys of Surrey' up and running but we are getting there at long last, just got to master the old computer system and transfer it onto something a bit more up to date!

I often visit the areodrome(taking the kids to watch the aircraft and helicopters and there's a great cafe there too) but could not find workshop "No2" when I tried today, I recieved your letter saying you were up and running so wanted to try you rather than going online.If the forum will not let you give out your location you could PM me Angus (I spent loads with David in the last few years) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevef1964 Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 The post code given in the Thompson local is RH1 5DP. When you Google the post code it directs you to a building in the middle of the airfield!!! Is that where you are guys? If so, what do you do about getting past the barrier?
