Most sellers use the LR part number to identify a part, but this doesn't tell you if it is pattern, oem or genuine. Unless they were specifically described as genuine LR, they are most likely pattern. Genuine seem to sell for $150-190 each, with pattern going for half that. The only way you could be 100% of the origin of the part would be to contact the seller and ask.Quote:

so 2+ years on, and i was looking under the bonnet today to find witness marks on the fan shroud. 1 from the aircon drive pulley and one from the fan blades. looks like the engine is twisting and lifting about 1/2 inch or so to make contact in these 2 places.
guess its time to do engine mounts again.
to be fair to it, its done over 40k klms since mounts were done, a lot of that towing a van, plus a lot of offroading.
will check the mounts in the morning when i can be bothered climbing under it.
KKB500750LR - genuine mounts. I think the LR is the clincher. Bought mine from Paddocks, UK, 117.78 UK pounds for two, 65 UK pounds for freight, worked out with current exchange rate $273.84 all up delivered to my door in a week. Do the maths with local prices. BobQuote:

I discovered that supplier has a tendency to call OEM parts "genuine" so don't assume that you'll get LR branded parts. Ask first if that is important to you.Quote:

Roscoe,
I have pm'd you a copy of a reply Gary set me in response to a complaint I lodged with ebay that the "genuine" loom I purchased was not as described but rather a Bearmach branded item.
The reply was to the effect that it was the same part but not sold via the LR network and not in LR packaging. That makes it what I - and I imagine most others - would describe as an OEM part (which I could have bought from Graeme at BritCar, a 5 minute stroll from work, for the same price and less hassle). He's not selling junk but as I said if you care about having LR branded parts you'd do well to ask him first because by and large that isn't what you'll get.
cheers
Paul
