John Craddock Ltd

In Cannock, a Land Rover part can mark the start of a restoration or the step that gets a vehicle back on the road. John Craddock Ltd grew out of both needs. John Craddock bought a 1948 Series One in 1968; searching for spares for his own vehicle and fellow enthusiasts led to a business established in 1970. It now serves private owners and repair shops alike.

The catalog is browsed first by vehicle, a sensible approach when the same part name can appear across incompatible generations. Sections cover Series 1, 2, and 3, Defender, Discovery, Freelander, and several Range Rover families. The store separates model years and versions within a nameplate, exactly where a hurried purchase can go wrong. Part number, engine, and year are worth checking before ordering.

Its range extends well beyond filters and brake pads. Mechanical parts, bodywork, electrical components, tires, wheels, travel equipment, and off-road accessories all appear. The website lists service kits, hoses, mats, recovery gear, and cargo solutions, among other products. Someone restoring a classic Series vehicle and someone outfitting a modern Defender will explore different sections but use the same specialist catalog.

The company has a store at Unit 7, Progress Drive, Cannock, Staffordshire WS11 0JE. Its history page describes parts, wheels, and tires on display, a tire bay behind the store, and a service area that can fit accessories. It also handles used vehicles. Not every catalog item is necessarily waiting on a shelf, so it is worth checking availability before visiting for a particular part.

For remote buyers, the site provides online ordering, a quick part-number search, order tracking, and information on shipping and returns. The business ships within the UK and internationally. Conditions vary by size, weight, and destination; a small component and a set of tires do not travel in the same way.

Advice is another part of the offer. The company describes its team as Land Rover owners and enthusiasts who can help identify or source spares that are hard to find in the catalog. That help does not replace checking technical fit for the vehicle, but it gives buyers someone to speak to when facing the marque’s many variations.

John Craddock Ltd brings decades of Land Rover history together in one digital and physical business, from collectible vehicles to everyday models. Its origins explain the mix of parts, accessories, tires, and service. To make good use of it, start with exact vehicle details, then separate an essential repair from the equipment for a future trip.
