Default Which EU-based online webshop do you recommend for purchasing X308 parts?

Hi!

I am planning to do a major overhaul of my suspensions and some timing chain/gears, gaskets replacement on my '98 XJR.

Here, in Hungary the only source I could get parts from is the local Jaguar *******, who quotes more than double prices than I would otherwise get from a randomly selected UK shop. The question is, which EU-based online shop do you recommend that ships to Hungary as well?

The most important aspects:
- Price (I am plannin to spend some serious amount of money, so 5-10% difference in prices would mean a lot)
- Wide range of parts (I'd like to purchase everything from one place)
- and of course, quality of parts (preferably OEMs)

100% agree with the above, SNG Barratt is amazing, always happy to help, and have consistently had everything I've needed at the best prices.
They have a lot of OEM stuff as well, so you get genuine parts without having to pay Jaguar prices

Thank you guys!

These two (SNG and British Parts) were in my eyesight, but I couldn't decide which one to go with. They have very similar prices and inventory.

Time to compare my basket on both sites

Don't forget SNG are forum sponsors, so you might get a discount... not sure if it's just through the US channel or the UK one though
