For good prices try Winston @ British and American 4wd parts in Brooklyn part of the car busters group.

Adrian from Rangie here, if you had a genuine complaint you should have come to me with it instead of complaining on the forums, as for your aulternator and air box falling off I find that hard to believe and as for the
scratches and dints in your bonnet and paint work if you contacted us about this it would have been fixed, find it hard to believe that 1 of my guys would damage your car and i wouldent know about it.
We are not perfect and no workshop is everyone makes mistakes, however if we did and were contacted about it instead of you going somewhere else and then baging us on the forum we would have been more than happy to fix the problem. We are heavily involved with the Landrover club in Victoria and have had no complaints at all from any members, if you would like to discuss this matter feel free to phone me 9739 6989

went to rangie wreckers today in somerville to see if Len had re-opened, and he has just around the corner, his hours are from around 9.30p-3.00 as he does the school run, if you ring his old number it diverts or gives you his mobile number to contact him on. He's just setting up so not much stock at the moment, but i'm pretty sure he has heaps of gear stashed away.

Rangie Wreckers in Somerville is at 21a Speedwell st, Somerville, you can contact Len on 0407531480. Ring before you go as he may not be there. And yes 81 Rangie i deal with Len a fair bit with building my rangie, he knows a lot about rangies and he's handy for us peninsula based owners.
