I think Beth's comments above sum up the problem - if it is half the price
of all the other suppliers it might just be because it is only worth half
the money!!
Paddocks are not alone in selling 'cheap and nasty' though - most of the
big mail order names do it.
I have afriend who sells LR parts from his garage and he actually stocks
2 qualities of most parts - if the customer chooses the cheap one then at
least he can say 'told you so' when he then sells him the dearer one a
couple of months later!!
If it is apart that has to fit right or has to work properly then I would
always suggest to buy Genuine or top quality, if it is a 'cosmetic' part
then a cheaper one may well be just as good.
