I always look here first for parts:

http://www.rangerovers.net/rrpartsv.htm

I did need to go to dealer once for seat belt buckel, the female portion. Front drivers side was $81 for one without seatbelt warning light wires.

The one with a little switch and connectors was $291 as I recall. (And I thought the $81 was alot.)

Maybe they will start charging $5-10 just to approach the parts counter or charge by the word.

I got a mailing from Rovers North last month with a big article on the fact they WILL BE a source for classic parts. Not just dealers.
