I'd say to support your local dealer, then, in a time of need, there is an incentive to help you out!

Very good point- I have been using the same independent Land Rover dealer near me for parts and the odd repair for 10+years. I was recently doing a suspension change one Saturday with my mate on his defender. At 12:40 in the afternoon- 10 minutes after the dealer  officially closes- we sheared a part. I got straight on the phone, told them what I needed, "no problem Will, I'm just leaving but I'll leave you one behind the gatepost. Pop By whenever  to sort the money out".

i told my mate who's truck we were working on, he always buys his parts online, he was gobsmacked! You really can't beat that kind of service, but if you don't have a local dealer then what can you do!

dont have one !

It depends what you class as "local"

 

Your nearest dealer will still happily post those parts at a competitive rate. And I bet in times of need they are in driving distance...

Reminds me of a time when I rang a dealer for Kubota parts on a Saturday. Someone picked up the phone and said "we're closed".
