I nearly said muddyzuk - but I don't think they do bushes. They do some Vit parts - depends on what replacement parts, I suppose!

I've used jimnybits, muddyzuk and llama and can't fault any of them. Dave at llama is a great bloke, really helpful, super friendly. Can't recommend him enough.

Scottie (hpoc scottie) used bits4vits when he had a vitara. He's got nothing but good things to say about them (him? I think it's a bloke called Dave as well!), and Scottie's not a forgiving guy!

;)
