Has anyone had any dealings with LR Optional Equipment of Oakham, Rutland?

[Tom]

Yes, a fair few.

RoB Maude is the proprietor, a long time club member and forum user, although I’m not sure how active he is on here att the moment.

He is also very active on the show circuit with his fleet of very unusual land rovers.

Very nice guy, certainly knows his stuff and his business produces all of those hard to get parts for overdrives, winches and other bits. I’ve bought a few items over the years, very good service.

Thanks Tom. I'll give him a call soon.

I have had one or two simple items , gaskets & such  from Rob  and indeed an obscure hydraulic winch part as well. Very knowledgeable and fair to deal with.

I'd echo Tom and Derek's comments

Rob Maude supplied me with loads of Brake parts in the middle of Lockdown.
He got everything that I needed and posted to me within a few days.

He's a 100% percent guy and won't fob you off or mess you about.

Whilst at Rutland this weekend  I broke an exhaust pipe hanger.  Rob was visiting nearby and dropped the required part off for me and refused any kind of payment.
My experience is that he goes over and above what folk normally expect.
He is also very knowledgeable about landrovers and anyone who has seen the airdrive landrover will appreciate the quality of his workmanship.

I rang Rob this afternoon about the service kit for freewheeling hubs, saying that I was going to remove them and I'd sell them with the fitting kit, and he's expressed an interest in buying them. I found a spare one in the garage. It's the caps that get damaged and mine are ok. I'll send a photo of the caps when the hubs are off. The spares from Blanchard's are on the way . I found the shipping details in the spam box for some reason.

Blanchards shipping details always end up in my spam box
