Hi guys,
Wheres the best place to buy parts for a major service on my BigHorn? For the timing belt and pullies, brake pads and filters I have been quoted £222.55 plus VAT £261.42 total is this good?
Thanks.

Sounds very very steep.
Try Milner Offroad. Filter kit £10, pads aren't that much and timing belt pulley / idler has just been reduced.

The Milners filter kit is £10+vat + delivery so is more like £20 - still good value imo. Especially if you're getting other bits'n'bobs at the same time.
For oil I use Vauxhall (trade club 4 x 4.5L cans for £32inc.).
Actually I tend to get main dealer prices on most stuff before going elsewhere.. they come up with the occasional suprise (and shock . . lol. . )

Y'know. . I used to think you were alright but it's REALLY easy to go off some people 
Their postal service is very good though. Obviously not as good as collection

Does anyone happen to know where I can get a rigid spare wheel cover?
And, thanks to you all once again.
