That place is bananas! Honestly, from how basic their website is you’d never know there was THAT much going on behind the scenes.

[@AJ-yw5zy]

Well they’ve come on leaps and bounds, nice to see there’s an option to using OEM parts.

[@chrisd924]

Shout out to the team at Britpart who helped me save my Series 3 in Australia...

[@priyanelan9760]

Nice to see parts freely available for the defender Think the piece shown is part of the gear box cover in interior

[@lyonoo]

I think it’s the trim around the main and diff lock gear sticks 🤞 Great informative videos guys keep them coming 👍

[@112buff]

Fascinating how much was done in house! Looks like a gearbox and transfer box selector gaiter for a pre puma Defender to me?

[@Defender3d]

Great to see behind the scenes. Feel free to arrange a visit to us for a video!

[@MattTester]

Top face of a Defender gearbox gaiter I'd say. Anyway this really supports my thought of building a whole Defender from scratch, with a new Puma engine. I'd really like to see it done. I needed parts for my Disco 1 and Freelander this week, bought all Britpart deliberately instead of Lucas (stalk switch) or genuine LR and the parts are nice quality.

[@bennylam69]

Top part of the gearbox gaiter, is it DA5499 part for a Defender

[@ChibabaDave]

Looks like a part that goes over the gear sticks

[@stephendawson9947]

Leather gear lever surround as fitted to the defeater floor mat

[@thedevilstears1]

Thats the top face of the gearbox gaiter, specifically DA5499 for a defender.

[@MarkChalmers-em3xp]

Top flat section for a defender gearbox gaiter.

[@tonypacke6954]

A good look around the Britpart organisation. I certainly like the option of paying more for the "premium" package as I still think some of the seals and ancillary items are not as durable as the factory higher priced components. I would like more information as to what is in some of the kits. I'm amazed of the amount of stock that is carried, all those chassis units! I suppose having a vehicle that has such a long lifespan as well as few changes during the years still has a large worldwide demand for spares. Regarding the quiz item, it looks like a section of the gear lever and low range lever trim but have no idea what model it is for. Nice video presentation though.

It's the AC air vent

[@user-sv1zc6fp8u]

Gear lever/box gater surround.

[@dipladonic]

Would be good if they could make the V6 diesel engines with stronger cranks.

[@FrankSeidler]

cover for the gearbox sticks 🙂

[@takoon911]

[@graham-martin5847]

[@Land_Raver_Defender]

Base section of a gearbox gaiter, forms part no DA5499 for LT77 box..? 😊

[@jimnicholson5889]

Gear and transfer stick cover

[@paulfisher1160]

Base of a gearbox gaiter. prior to the sleave up being stitched on. Lt77 gearbox is my guess Regards, Paul

[@JimWard-sh3jl]

Looks like the bottom of a gearshift / transfer box shift gaiter from a early 90 /110.

[@Mike.87]

Great video as always it's a pity lr parts can't do the one stop shop like lrdirect when I order stuff from lrdirect they handle all the customs it would be great if lr parts could do the same

[@Dane-W83]

LR Defender gear box gaiter bace.

[@MrNineCherries]

[@gredheim2979]

Gearbox gaiter methinks

[@landroverleks]

Bottom section of an early gearbox gaiter? 😅

[@chuckmaddison2924]

Is it actually possible to improve anything with Land Rover.

[@Colinpark]

I was not impressed to get a Britpart electronic distributor with no installation instructions. When I asked them directly I got the brush off that they only provide the part and can't provide the instructions.

[@LRLiveUK]

Not the best response I agree.

[@mattphelon7486]

Gearbox gaiter for an early defender?

[@roryduncan5945]

Defender Gear Box Gaitor pre puma

[@grahamwest1079]

Big operation but don't support small companies same as Terrafima did. I stopped trading and now buy all my parts for my own vehicles from you guys. Gear leaver transfer box selector panel for Defender.

[@B16KVB]

I'm sure that's for a gear gaitor

[@skinteastwood2358]

gearbox gaiter cover

[@grahameroberts8109]

‘Next day’ to Australia? Awesome 🙈👍🏻🙏🦘

[@lenhornsey2175]

I'm in the Caribbean and I've been using LR Direct for years. Great and friendly service. Recommended 🇻🇨

[@rickbear7249]

In several parts of this video, it was impossible to hear what was said. For example, when you were discussing the quality of the something being done on new engines, despite replaying several times, I've still no idea what was said 🤷‍♂️?? May I suggest you replay these videos and listen to the sound quality, as a few subtitles would be extremely useful to your viewers. Thanks.

[@LRLiveUK]

Hi, unfortunately I only have two wireless mics and we had a few people at different times chipping in. Sorry about that but we'll up our game soon with better production values!

[@Jabber-ig3iw]

The infamous blue box, shudder!

[@blairoutproject]

Known as Shitpart by many land rover owners and not with out good reason.

[@noelcahill6707]

Id buy a peugeot part first sht part is rite

[@user-fz8ep5ey4v]

I imagine that’s jealous people who can’t afford a fantastic Land Rover .

[@theyeti7331]
