Britpart....surprised

Well against all the advice on here I ordered a whole load of parts choosing the cheapest (Britpart etc) as I don't really intend to keep the P38 too long

Full set of axle ball joints in Britpart boxes, joints are stamped Lemforder
Axle oil seals are made by Corteco
Track Rod end short one is marked Q-line whoever the hell that is but is german

I'd read a magazine article that got a full set of Britpart airbags and they were stamped Dunlop

So quite happy for my first purchase, do you think they may be trying to improve their reputation

Nice to know, thanks, may give them a try again.

The boss has said they are trying to improve.

Out of interest, where did you buy the parts from.
I usually use Island 4x4 for all my parts

Interesting to do a "basket" of RR parts from 4/5 of main suppliers Vs Land Rover themselves........price, maker, perceived quality


P

Britpart are giving a warranty on all of their parts.
Has anyone ever contacted Britpart direct with problems related to their products ????....I have and they have responded very well.
I have not had any problems with their products except a faulty flasher relay (Towing type)...gave them a call and a new Lucas unit arrived next day FOC.

Apart from Dunlop and Arnott, are there any other manufacturers of P38 Airbags???....:scratching_chin:

Which could explain why Britpart supply Dunlop units...

Also, did you buy genuine or the cheaper line when you ordered? It's only the cheap crap (non g) parts most people complain about.

At least one other company makes them, prices were ridiculous when I looked. Can't remember the name.

No, it was a specialist company, a bit like Arnott, making a range of airspring replacement bags.

Parts came from all over and ordered the cheapest I could buy

Mind you a few weeks ago I bought a new front indicator unit today I had a fast flashing lamp and message of bulb failure

The lamp is totally gone, could have been me fitting it but wasn't the best fit

Erm, britpart brake shoes dont fit either
