Land Rover Series Parts

Parts for the full Land Rover Series family, produced from 1948 to 1985. This collection covers Series I, Series II, Series IIA, and Series III in both short wheelbase and long wheelbase configurations. Select your generation below to find correctly fitted components for your vehicle.

Land Rover Series Parts: What This Collection Covers

The Land Rover Series family spans four distinct generations produced across 37 years. Series I ran from 1948 to 1958, Series II from 1958 to 1961, Series IIA from 1961 to 1971, and Series III from 1971 to 1985. Each generation used a body-on-frame ladder chassis with selectable four-wheel drive, a two-speed transfer gearbox, and a four-speed manual main gearbox. Wheelbase options were 88 inches (short wheelbase) and 109 inches (long wheelbase) from Series II onward. Series I used wheelbase options of 80, 86, 88, and 107 inches across its production run.

Parts compatibility is not uniform across the family. Some components, particularly engine internals for the 2.25-litre petrol and diesel units, carry across from Series IIA through Series III. Others, including body panels, wiring looms, and axle components, are generation or wheelbase specific. Selecting the correct child collection for your vehicle is the most reliable way to find the right parts.

Browse by generation:

• The Series 1 parts collection covers all Series I vehicles produced from 1948 to 1958, across all wheelbase options.
• The Series 2 and 3 parts collection covers Series II (1958 to 1961), Series IIA (1961 to 1971), and Series III (1971 to 1985) in both short and long wheelbase.

If you are unsure which generation you have, use the vehicle commission number to identify your build date and sub-series before selecting parts.

Parts Categories Stocked for Land Rover Series Vehicles

This collection covers components across all major categories for the Series family. The heaviest demand comes from engine and gasket components, suspension and steering parts, body and chassis hardware, electrical and wiring items, and service and maintenance consumables.

Common restoration categories include engine rebuild components (gaskets, seals, bearings, timing parts), swivel housing and axle parts, wiring looms and electrical connectors, body panels and bulkhead sections, brake system components, and clutch and drivetrain parts.

For cross-category browsing by component type, the following category collections carry Series-compatible stock alongside parts for other Land Rover models:

• Land Rover engine parts
• Land Rover suspension and steering parts
• Land Rover brake parts
• Land Rover electrical parts

Use the Model filter available on category collection pages to narrow results to Series I or Series 2 and 3 fitment where supported.

Part Quality: OEM, Genuine, and Aftermarket Explained

The product grid offers three quality tiers: Genuine, OEM, and Aftermarket.

Genuine parts carry the original Land Rover part number and were manufactured by or for Land Rover. For Series vehicles, genuine Land Rover stock is limited for many components due to the age of the range. Where genuine parts are available, they are listed as Genuine.

OEM parts are manufactured to the same specification as the original part, often by the same supplier that produced the original component, but are sold outside the main brand distribution channel. For Series vehicles, OEM-specification parts are a reliable and widely used choice for mechanical rebuilds.

Aftermarket parts are independently manufactured to a compatible specification. Quality varies by product, and each listing on this site identifies the quality tier clearly. For consumable and body hardware categories on Series vehicles, quality aftermarket parts are the standard choice used by workshops across Europe.

Buying for a Workshop or Fleet

Trade customers running a workshop or managing multiple Series vehicles can access volume pricing through a Budget Parts trade account. Trade accounts include correct EU VAT invoicing, consolidated order options, and direct contact with the sourcing team for unlisted parts.

If a component is not currently visible in the catalogue, the sourcing team works directly with UK and EU suppliers to locate it. Contact the team with your commission number and part requirement.

How to Identify Your Land Rover Series Vehicle

Series Land Rovers do not carry a modern 17-digit VIN. Each vehicle has a Commission Number on a bulkhead plate that encodes the generation, engine type, wheelbase and build date. Since the identification process and the records you cross-reference against differ between the four generations, the detailed Commission Number guidance lives on the two child collections, scoped to the vehicles each one covers.

For Series I (1948 to 1958), see the Series 1 collection. For Series II, IIA and III (1958 to 1985), see the Series 2 and 3 collection. Both pages cover where the plate sits on each generation, what the encoding tells you, and what to do if the plate is missing. If you have your Commission Number to hand and want fitment confirmed before ordering, contact Budget Parts directly.
