Defender Spare Parts - By: Gareth Hoyle1

In the old days before the Internet is could be quite difficult to source spare parts for your Land Rover. You would have had to visit specialist suppliers such as garages or breakers and there may not have been a lot of choice on offer. However now that most people have access to the Internet spare parts are much more readily available. There are now a large number of websites selling spare parts (new and second hand) and many specialise in Land Rover parts for all models and ages. You should easily be able to find spare parts for your Defender at some more affordable prices.

Model Numbers

If you are buying spare parts online then you do need to make sure you have checked the correct model number for your vehicle. Although some parts may be interchangeable you can save a lot of time and hassle by making sure the spare part you are buying is definitely for your vehicle model. If you are not sure from the website whether or not the part is suitable contact the seller. All good online spare parts websites will have a customer service support line (email or telephone) and you should be able to get hold of an experienced salesperson to help you out. Also check to see if the website has a returns policy just in case you do order the wrong part or it is damaged/faulty when it arrives.

Buying Second Hand

There are many cost effective second hand parts available on the Internet. This can be a great way of finding spare parts for your Land Rover at a fraction of the costs of a new replacement part. However you do need to make sure that the parts are in good condition. The seller’s idea of good condition and yours may be a long way apart so ask for pictures to be sent to you and check that any necessary brackets/bolts/seals are included with the sale. There is no point buying a low cost part if you then have to spend lots of money getting all the accessories needed to fit it to your vehicle.

Postage Costs

In most cases online parts providers will have standard delivery fees. You will need to check that these fees are reasonable and that the provider can deliver to your area. Delivery costs can add up if you are ordering from several different websites. This means that it can often be cheaper to order a number of parts from the same provider (even if they are slightly more expensive) and get them combined into one delivery.

Buying new and second hand parts for your Land Rover has never been easier and the Internet means that you can search for parts 24/7. This means no more time consuming trips to specialist garages or calling around during business hours trying to find the parts you need.
