Been there, done that and I know what you mean. You get what you pay for I suppose.

If you'd have done a search on here first you wouldn't have wasted your time with ****part in the first place.

Alright so might be asking the obvious... but I need a new hub bearing. Genuine is £33 Britpart is £8. Is it worth the risk?

Can you afford the extra £25 for genuine? if you can get the lr part.

Things like bearings, seals, ball-joints, etc. I wouldn't trust Britpart. I'll go for better quality aftermarket stuff (eg. Lemforder ball-joints) or genuine.

It's a false economy in my book - buy cheap, buy twice - or some such bollox.

You always get what you pay for. Same with tools. Buy the best you can afford.

What pee'ed me off recently was purchasing a component, advertised as "OEM". When it turned up it was Britpart! Waste of money as I'm not going to fit it.

personally the only problems i have had with britpart was a tail light, the pins didnt line up exactly, Everything else i bought britpart has been fine, and i work my landy hard off road and nothing has worn out prematurely or broke

So when an OE manufactured item turns up in a Britpart box you wouldn't fit it because of the box?
I have been using Britpart for many years and never had a problem. During that time many of the items have been of OE manufacture (the manufacturers marks in the castings or stamped on the item are a dead giveaway) and have done exactly the same job as the original item.
