Disco 2 Injector O rings

Maat · 2025-07-21T17:57:12+0100

Hi,

I ordered 5 Britpart washers and 5 "OEM" o rings for the injectors on my 10P Td5 from a company. They sent me the washers and O rings all together in a non sealed Britpart bag, however I am inclined to believe that the Orings are in fact britpart, not OEM. The o rings on my injectors are red and these are black. After a quick search on paddocks, the OEM ones are indeed red, and britpart is black.

Any opinions? I paid 50 euros for these...

I thought it was recommended to use genuine.

Yes, but they didnt carry genuine. And those are green? However if these are Britpart I reckon I'm better off with the old ones. Just dont fancy throwing money and getting the wrong part. I posted this in hopes that someone could confirm whether or not I am wrong?

I fitted the black 'Britpart' ones without issue.

"OEM" means nothing these days, it's just a marketing scam for various aftermarket parts, if you can't afford genuine LR(which are actually green) then buy branded ones like Viton, a friend of mine fitted some so called OEMs and they leaked straight away

Fair enough, I understand your view, my problem atm is that I paid 50 euros and they sent me Britpart which cost 8 euros on Paddocks! Genuine are only 20e more on top for a price that is already crazy for some o rings... but I understand that they do a difficult job. The britpart ones just look like they come out of a random o ring set.

Btw, Sierra, how can you tell if they leak straight away? Test the oil for diesel contamination? Also, maybe you also have bad experiences with LR Yard?

Yes, after the orings were changed it's a good practice to check the oil level and smell in the first days after each drive

That's a valid point. If you're fitting cheap parts you want to be paying cheap prices.
