Correct, No branding no fitting is my rule. Even Timken etc have been hit by counterfeit products, if the sealed bearing box doesn't have a hologram on it it isn't a real Timken part .

If the part number on a Britpart component carries a suffix G then it's a genuine OEM part.

I'll keep that in mind. One thing I like about the LR Direct site is that it will list the supplier and what brand they're supplying, and sometimes Britpart will supply OEM or similar. Still makes me nervous, though.

I see someone, (Allmakes?), has introduced a "PR2", (I think), standard that's supposed to be the best quality available. It sounds like they were listening to their customers.

I thought Allmakes was Britpart

All makes are not Britpart, All Makes are simply a company who supply Genuine Land Rover parts, plus OEM parts, plus there own stuff, ie Terrafirma, and have bought a number of other UK suppliers.

I was told they own Exmoor trim now, but I don't think so...

Come to think of it All makes are probably the new Britpart....

I've got some good Britpart pieces in the past, although I did end up with a couple of rubber bits for the Series that I reckon will perish quite quickly (they haven't seen summer yet) ... at least they are an easy swap out if they do.
