My trusted mechanic just fitted a new fuel filter for me and charged me $18.50 for the part. I don't know what brand he fitted but he's a long-time Landie fanatic so I'm pretty confident it wasn't a crap version.

i buy mine from paddocks. $32 bucks for a complete set for a td5. both oils, air and fuel. i get a couple and a time and just keep them in the shed.
thats very expensive!
We sell Cooper which is an o.e.m filter brand for the following:
300tdi fuel filter $23.00, air filter $23.00, oil filter $12.50 -
How does $16.36 + GST grab you for a Donaldson P550388 fuel filter ? :D
Parts and filters for a Land Rover shouldn't be expensive. ;)
I've been getting Fuel, Air, Centrifugal and Paper Oil Filter for the TD5 from CLR4WD for similar money to Repco and Dealer Fuel filter only price. These are usually a mix of genuine and Bearmach.
I know the post wasnt refering to TD5, but these guys carry stock for all LR Dieso.
Cheers

simmilar thing happened to me I went to the local repco, (I think) and asked for two air filters for my old carby V8, $35 hmmm I thought that was a touch over priced but that was each !!! :eek:
I politely declined went to RoverCraft $10 ea. :D
pays to shop about
Don't get me started on Repco...
My mate recently had to get some break hoses for his Toyota - Repco quoted him $40ea
Needless to say he was pretty annoyed when I told him I payed $22ea for break hoses from MR Automotive for my IIA :D :D :D
I find it horses for courses though sometime one is way cheaper than the other.
For example SuperCheap does the bottom radiator hose for my RRC for about $15 but are more expensive than the dealer for the top hose.
I usually call at least two parts places to check if I even slightly suspect its over priced.
I buy as much as I can from super-thief, staff discount is great :DQuote:
