Hi Ian. I can't help with the location of a dealer, but I could send you the parts. The parts you want are all cheap, but the carriage charge with DHL will be approx £55.
Or, you can manage without the parts if you take it easy. For the panhard bushes, if they do wear out this makes the vehicle 'wonder' on the highway, but you can manage.
For the UJs, if one is on it's last legs you could take that propshaft off and lock the centre diff (I guess you're in a Defender) and just have 2wd until you can find another one. For your information the UJs on all Defenders (apart for the very early ones, 1984, 1985) and all the same, AND they are the same UJ for a Discovery (1990 to 1999) and Range Rovers from 1986 (ish) to 1995. There are lots of different parts numbers, but the external sizes are all the same.
For the rear brake shoes, if they wear down to the metal then this will obviously damage the drum. This would be a pain as you then need new drums, although your drums might need to be replaced anyway, as they do wear out.
Good luck! Hope the weather is better for you, it's been raining here every day for the past week. And we're planning on going camping tonight!
Cheers,
Matt
