Theft/parts suppliers.

I'm not casting any aspertions here, but, after my wife's RRS was involved in a hit and fail so stop by a farm trailer whilst we were in the UK last month, which totally smashed the door mirror and broke the door glass, I decided to fix it myself rather than go through the French insurance as they wanted a written UK Police report before they would get involved, the French can't do anything without a bit of paper to shuffle around and the chance of getting that from the UK cops is probably nil.

Anyway, I took to the internet looking for a mirror and a window.
What really surprised me was the amount of right hand drive Range Rover parts available from places such as Lithuania. Absolutely loads.

So my question is, just how do these places in the EU have so many RHD cars being broken? A Cheshire expat in France.

You can get a crime number from the UK police with no problem if you reported it so stop trying to push the UK down Always listen to old people or when they die you will live on in ignorance.

The point being made is about how many of these things and the parts available online are stolen goods.

But as someone who espouses cheap parts from ebay, perhaps your conscience is pricking you? Whistle 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed
