ActiTour Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Hi everyone! Finally bought my 110!!! I want to buy all the spares from e-bay: 3 filter pack, break pads, belt, etc. Can anyone suggest how may different belts there are and what else i should buy? Also, what is the brand of the genuine parts and how can i recognize the genuine part on the e-bay? Thanks a lot for your helps, guys!!!

ejparrott Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Well if its a 'genuine' part it will have the green oval on...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulcan bomber Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Dont buy from ebay, find a local supplier, or use one of the bigger suppliers and mail order it all. Nothing worse than spending 60 odd quid on ebay for a ”decent" timing belt kit and it breaking less than a hour after fitting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big.Mike Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Second the "don't buy from Ebay" comment, there are fake parts marked with the green oval... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I know Brit-car have a ebay shop & they have been good with service every time I've bought from them. you'd probably be best off ordering direct from the likes of Craddocks, Paddock Spares.Britcar,LRSeries as examples.

mmgemini Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 I'll third the don't buy E bay. I have two local motor factors I buy most of my spares from. Then I have an indi that I buy other things from. Not forgetting my Land Rover dealer where I buy my Land Rover Genuine Parts from Being old fashioned I like to have in my hand what I'm buing before I part with what little cash I have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ActiTour Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 And also what spares would you recommend to have at hand (air/oil/fuel filters, timing belt, break pads) anyting else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastycrimper Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Almost all of the the suppliers mentioned above do free (or very cheap) next day delivery. Most online/mailorder suppliers suppliers will sell orginal, good OEM and cheap pattern parts so just make sure that your getting the right type. I think most people on here will agree that staying away from cheap pattern copies is a good idea - the good OEM parts are only a little more expensive than the pattern parts but a great deal cheaper than LR original. Can't speak for London suppliers but most non specialist average 4x4 garages (i.e. not Landrover specialists) tend to sell Britpart parts which if you trawl these forums is pretty much a no no - they apparently do some good parts but I've yet to find some. However you may have a local supplier that sells LR and OEM parts off the shelf which as mmgemini says is always nice but if you dont I'd stick to online/mail order. If you've got a 300tdi then get a spare serpentine drive belt (they're pretty tough but always good to have a spare) note that these come in two lengths depending on basically the size of the alternator pulley. Ealrier 300tdis had a bigger puller and hence a longer belt whereas later versions or ones with A/C fitted a beefier alternator with a smaller pulley. Note as far as I am aware Dayco make this belt for Landrover and the Dayco OEM belt is much cheaper than the LR original which is assumedly exactly the same item just missing the green oval stamp so here's an example where OEM is the way forward. Somewhere on this forum I think someone has created a list of who some of the OEM suppliers for landrover are which is useful. For instance Denso make the alternators. Most decent suppliers do complete service kits (i.e. filters) - many a debate on whats the best - just don't go for a cheap unheard of brand - Good brands do filters for pretty cheap so your not talking much difference to your wallet. Some people only use LR filters but I have always used Coopers filters. I've only been on the forum for a couple of years - if you have any questions just ask here. Its full of legendary helpful advice and has come to my rescue numerous times. Enjoy the 110 - I can't imagine life without mine anymore!

Dingocroft are in High Wycombe which isn't *that* far from you - they are also very knowledgable, helpful (and patient!) if you aren't entirely sure what bits you need. They do sell some britpart though, but should have alternatives if you ask... http://www.dingocroft.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
