Chappers Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Jack do you think it would be a good idea to put a section for parts suppliers/ dealers.The reason is I keep bumping into people with loads of parts whilst looking for the spares for the "Big Morris project" I'm undertaking. Just thought it would be nice to have a section for names and numbers or contact details of suppliers. It's the small dealers that I've found that have those elusive parts and they don't seem to advertise anywhere .A lot of the small dealers seem to know each other you could make HMVF the center for parts searching. Just a thought!!!!! Regards Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toner Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Sounds like a plan :-D I know I have bought bits for my ferret from suppliers who don't advertise at all, it's a case of "So and so might have that bit. Call him on xxxxx) I imagine that permission from each supplier would need to get granted before puting their names up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Surely this could go under the dealers banner :dunno: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chappers Posted June 10, 2007 Author Share Posted June 10, 2007 Surely this could go under the dealers banner :dunno: I couldn't agree more but the dealers don't post on that section and I believe its just for dealers to post on so It would be nice to have a section were we as parts users could post about contacts we've made!!!!!!. Just my opinion. I met a guy today that deals in Brake and clutch parts, He handed out a business flyer so cant see why he would object to getting more business from a MV forum. so here are his details: Coastings LTD Classic Brakes for cars ,Commercials, military 1929-1985 Tel:/Fax 01564 702388 Will take Master card /Visa credit card and does mail order. Heres another one : The Electrical Parts Company LTD suppliers of Obsolete Lucas Auto electrical spares for cars,tractors,motorcycles and Commercials.Electrical parts refurbished. Tel:stores 01584 811118 Office : 01584 811573 Fax :01584 819570 Every little lead helps regards Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degsy Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Sounds like a good idea to me, nobody can afford to turn down business or free advertising, Land Rover owners, don't forget that a lot of parts going right back to series one are still available fom your local Land Rover main dealer and are quite often cheaper than non-genuine parts. If you have a problem PM me and I will try to help, we do mail order and if I can't help I usually know someone who can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 The whole idea of a dealers section (in my opinion) is that they pay a peppercorn type rent to post in there and not for free, that is obviously J's call but that is my understanding. a good call though :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I hear you brothers (family speak) and sounds a dam fine idea and if it helps everyone and makes our hobbie easier then lets do it. I agree with Mark with regards to rent/cash bribes/holidays in the sun. Just need to figure out how we lay this out so it doesn't all become a mess and is easy to use....
