    Wink chinese parts

    [I]Hope the ****** dont make Landrover parts, god willing they dont, even the Discs look to be Chinese as there is no channels cut into the inner hub so u can slip a small chisel down to bang out the races, these too were replaced when the bearings were done and cost a pretty penny, so u dont know what the mechanics are using in your cars.[/quote][/i]


    I have to say that it is not that they are made in china but it is the old adagge that you get what you pay for.
    90% of all electronics are now made in china for all the major brands with excellent quality control, the same goes for most other items.
    But we have to remember that not all wheel bearings are the same, stick to well known brands that have stood the test of time like.

    I owned a ZH Fairlane


    and sold it for a case of beer

    the beer was the only decent thing to ever come out of that car.

    Tend to agree IMHO everytime in the past I have swung to save a dollar it has cost me in the long run. Nowadays I prefer genuine products, therefore in theory avoid any of the niggling issues associated with sticking cheap bits into my engine and/or body.

    Deadong that would be Daedong

    We have one of those, a 50 hp one, previously we always had Massey-Ferguson, International or Ford but this Korean one was only 2/3 of the price of a Massey Ferguson and dad reckons it's great always starts first time, it'll see him out.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    Personally, I just love the day and age we live in when it comes to buying gear.
    Who says we have to buy the cheaper stuff anyway??
    I usually make an informed choice.
    My shed is full of gear that I would have never been able to afford 20-30 years ago. I have a concrete mixer - under $300 a tube bender, mig welder automatic arc welder goggles, just heaps and heaps of stuff that gets occasional use.
    I buy good stuff if I think it will get a proper workout ( Generator for example - he he lrfanl) Even then I have a rethink choice. I was giving the Bosch sander a good workout on my weatherboard shed(s) and was using packets of Bosch papers at something like $15.00 per 8 as it kept tearing other brands.
    I actually bought a $17.00 one that came with more papers and happily uses the cheaper papers without tearing them and it has practically replaced the Bosch unit as I am happy to use it more. I just used it for two hours last week and if it throws in the towell tomorrow I will get another one under warranty.
    Happy days , I say...
