Injector Loom Replacement...

Dhammadad · Dec 15, 2020

There's too many choices online ranging from £30 for a loom and rocker gasket to £50 just for the loom...how do I know which is best because with experience the more expensive one isn't always better?

Cheers!

In this case you have only one reliable option and that's genuine LR loom, others are all lottery and they can leak in less than 6 months

google out AMR6103LR and see where it's cheaper

I certainly won't be buying from LR at £77.53 inc VAT, not when I can get an OEM at £38...

Buy cheap, buy twice.

OEM means nothing these days, it's just a marketing scam, i had "OEM" which leaked after 4 months and the injector balances where sh*t from day 1. Believe me or not, go cheap on this and you'll regret it

I thought OEM meant it was a genuine part??? If you had an OEM and it leaked whats the point of getting one from LR direct?

OEM means Original Equipment Manufacture. And a new vehicle has parts from 100s of different manufacturers on it. And they sometimes change during the period of manufacture of that vehicle.
And after the vehicle ceases production, likewise, the parts are made by whoever makes them, and sold by various different firms.

So OEM can mean just about anything, you really need to know the reputation of the maker concerned.

But price is a guide. Do you think you could make, and sell, a good injector loom, and a rocker seal, for £30?

As long as you buy AMR6103LR you can buy it where ever you want, as about OEM here;s the explanation: https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/d2-td5-cutting-out-when-warm.326582/#post-4193511

There are several reliable suppliers in UK you can goolgle them as above mentione

Regarding on other option.....last April I have installed an OEM one (Leoni) and so far I am OK with that (maybe I am lucky but this make was recommended by someone here as a reliable one).
As the price difference is about 30-40 pounds only (between this and a genuine one) if I were you I would take the genuine now (also with genuine rocker gasket).
