I found in chasing engine parts that if you don't have any luck
finding bits by asking for Land Rover parts you can sometimes find
them by asking for Rover P4 parts.


When I told one supplier the Vandervell number for the engine bearings
he, after categorically denying he had any Series I engine parts, said
"Oh those are P4 numbers. This in a country where Series Is vastly
outnumber P4s. Go figure.
