Don't know if there is a similar site in Sweden, but Norwegian breakers can be found via https://www.bruktdel.no/

I must warn you though, these guys think Discos are made from pure gold, and will charge you accordingly. Shipping from Norway to Sweden shouldn't be too bad, and depending on where in Sweden you're based, I could possibly help you with delivery. I live not that far from the border.

Products purchased outside EEA (Norway, UK nowadays, etc.) to are levied customs and VAT upon entry (to Sweden for example). Big Cry

Still, probably cheaper than purchasing “new” Mr. Green

Thanks for all the advice guys! I'm in touch with a couple of breakers in Sweden, still only only headlights, not even thought about the fog lights yet!

Ah yes, lovely Norwegian tolls, I lived there for 4 years and thinking about some of the prices my eyes still water...

Saying that with fuel prices now a drive from Stockholm to Norway and back I'd probably be cheaper paying the taxes.... Laughing

Don't be so sure, if there's one thing Norwegians do well, it's raising taxes! Laughing
But on the serious side, a clever practice had been to order things from the EU, to a post office in Sweden, and then picking it up in person. Entering Norway, you are allowed goods valued 6000 NOK, approx £550, tax free. Saved me a few bob on a set of golf clubs from the UK that did. Importing things from the UK now is more of a hassle, it's cheaper importing straight to Norway (thank you very much Brexit!). Still, parts are that much cheaper in the UK that it adds up. Only thing I ever bought here is an oil filter due to lack of time, and that cost me 4x what AF charges Shocked

When borders 'closed' my Discovery got stuck there, I hid it in storage to avoid the 10k bill to import but serviced it and changed suspension arms, discs etc before I moved it again. Doing that in Norway was not cheap....

And there are very few indies around. I'm told quite a few garages actually shun LR cars Crying or Very sad
Had I not had access to a two-pole lift I could never have had a D3.

These were the guys I was recommended in Oslo. Not cheap, they were excellent though.
