Yep Milners is where i got all my parts from. A Landy owner may well look through their online shop and say that there doesn't seem to be many parts listed but thats because with a Jap you don't need them :lol: Most of it is built to last the life of the truck unlike LR where every componant right down to the chassis seems to have a 'use by' date on it :twisted:

If you are interested in Paj's then take a look at http://www.pocuk.com/forums/ although you may need to join. There are also 2 or 3 other good owners clubs (probably with far less politics too ;) :roll:) They are all friendly places and will give you all the help/information you need.

Right i hate to agree with this but yep a pajero or shogun is the way to go for an all rounder that is reliable.. i have tried a few different motor as you can see below

i did use milners for my hilux parts, and we did look at milners for those track rods, i also used roughtracks, a specialist parts company for hiluxes, which saved a heck of a lot, but the prices were still eye watering. 
and (putting tin helmet on) my landrovers have been more reliable, fact

the  hilux was fast, comfortable and economical, with next to no rust though

I think there's a lot of series owners will disagree that their trucks have a "use by " date on them.  For my part, our 21 year old RRC used to be a police car, it's been to the moon and back.  Anything that wears out I can swap because it's big meccano.  It's cheapert o run than a Micra, fuel costs aside.

Another thought, if a Bitsa' needs a locking diff to keep up with a LR, where will it be behind a LR with locking diffs :-k

Anyhoo, all this doesn't answer the question.  A RRC shares it's chassi with the Disco, so it's barley a few inches shorter due to the spare wheel.  They are a bit lower but I'm guessing from what you said it's about more than keeping it under cover :-k, like the carport has a gate or something.

Also for a first 4x4 there is insewerance to consider.
