I have a 53 disco 2 auto diesel due for service. Is it personal taste for filters etc or worth paying the extra for genuine land rover over britpart and bearmach etc. Thanks
genuine parts or britpart, bearmach?

I spent a fortune with main dealer genuine parts, worth every penny, compare price of component to the expense of a catastrophic failure, I will never trust anything supplied by ****part.
See if I can find youtube vid on filter quality, real eye opener!

I used to buy genuine for service until the fuel filter reached over the £30 mark, now buy the full Bearmach service kit from a shop on ebay for around £15 and for that you get 2 oil filters, fuel and air filters and copper washer for sump bolt.
Been using them for 3 years now and never had a problem

Have been using Bearmach as my main source of parts however for more important components I would likely use Genuine. I got an OEM rocker gasket and didn't last long. Will be replacing this time with a genuine part.

For what its worth my P38 is only serviced with Genuine filters and I try to only fit genuine parts. Not saying BritPart isn't good if your on a budget just my personal choice.

I use genuine filters, but will buy OEM for most running parts.
We carry a spares box for when we go to Europe, pair of hubs, water pump etc etc, you couldn't afford to have those laying around if they were genuine.
Front downpipe/catalysts are £130 on fleabay, £1070 genuine!

Avoid cheap oil filters, stick with reputable brands and you'll be fine - no need to stick to LR branded IMHO. I use MANN, but MAHLE is also supposed to be pretty good.

watch that, real eye opener as to why expensive filters are worth the money!
