    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.

    How does $16.36 + GST grab you for a Donaldson P550388 fuel filter ?

    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

    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

    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.
