Desert Cat Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Would like to replace my Auto-gearbox oil cooler pipes before they burst...Is there a real difference in quality between the Land rover 85GBP "Genuine" to the BRITPART 34GBP "OEM" ? Genuine for 75GBP while OEM for 35GBP You don't do this every day, I have 300K on my vehicle tending towards the "genuine" but I not 100% there is a real difference in quality.

Nigelw Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 For these types of things go genuine, I am sorry to say that I have had experiences with brand new "pattern part" brake pipes bursting, oil cooler pipes with the wrong thread sizes and the list goes on, I will just point out that not all of those parts were from Britpart either! The price difference is small enough not to worry about and it will give you a warm fuzzy feeling to know that what you have bought is guaranteed to fit and will last as long as the pipes you are about to replace.

jad Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 For most things I tend to head for OEM as it should be exactly the same thing but not branded land rover. I suppose this tends to depend on whether or not their quality control has slipped or if they still supply LR with these parts. Jad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boydie Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Britpart NO NO NO if its important and your engine depends on it spend the extra and the product guarantee that goes with it, I'm with Nigel on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jad Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 But OEM shouldn't be made by Britpart but still by the Original Equipment Manufacturer.... Surely it has just been repackaged by Britpart should it not? Jad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
