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.

Land over we themselves sell for 150 each. Best get it from them

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. Bob

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.
