They have nothing to do with the UK. They are all the same pieces. Nobody is making copycats. They have more lawyers than Britpart has employees.

I’m also not sure where you are getting this strange feeling they are expensive. You can get Econoseal connectors at any electrical parts supplier and there is no way you would spend over $5 per connector.

You simply didnt read what I typed....
*I posted the Land Rover part number STC1188.
*Then someone else posted a link to an electrical parts supplier, which I thought was a better option than the Land Rover STC1188.
*If you use the Land Rover part number to source that female plug STC1188, then you have:
*Britpart, Bearmach both made in china, both ****, I've tried them, the pins pop out or the tab snaps off before you even get to use them, round $5.00 each, no surprise.
*Land Rover genuine STC1188 is $46 each, yes again Ive had to use them, but at least there is no additional labour to repair before using it.

So this all comes from the same factory is rubbish. I'm not sure where you get this strange feeling that parts don't get copied and produced on the cheap.
