Need to get a CV boot kit for Disco 2, is the Britpart one acceptable or is there any other alternatives available?
Many thanks.

Getting some GKN ones as I don't really want to do it again.
Twice the price of Britpart but still not expensive and hopefully twice as good.

So who’s the supplier of the GKN item?
Also what is the brand of the Britpart item?

Seems to me your not comparing like for like

Most likely the supplier will be Britpart for both of them

Then OEM quality comparison with the pattern part option regarding the price difference.

And your right you really don’t want there again.

Driveshaft is out, just waiting for a phone call to say the parts have arrived.

Somehow that job took all day. Mind you there was quite a bit of messing around having to collect the parts, then the plumber came round (unrelated, he wasn't helping), then had to go to the local garage to get the cv boot bands done up as I haven't got the tool and couldn't buy one locally.
I have a sneaky suspicion that the slight nick in the cv boot was done by the local garage when they did the upper and lower ball joints not that long ago, boot was in very good condition otherwise.
Not a blue box insight.
