Depends of the part. Sometimes you're better off paying the extra money and buying genuine parts

Hi Tim,
I Never use the LR dealer, genuine or OEM parts can be purchased from other sources.
If you want genuine / equivalent parts then look for a G suffix after the part number.
I use :
Lrdirect
island 4x4
JGS 4x4
Cheers

I noticed this the other day when I was getting parts from LRDirect. There seems to be two genuine LR parts listed, one with a one year warranty, and another with a two year warranty.
Example: https://www.lrdirect.com/ANR6947-Bush-Assembly/?keep_https=yes

Typical rip off, cold climate fluid for the power steering, LR wanted over 22 quid for a half litre, you can get exactly the same stuff on the bay for around £16. Still expensive though.
Fluids and filters, from wherever is cheapest. If you change them regularly you shouldn't have trouble.
For parts, I do look at the recommended sellers on the bay, most of them do sell on there, but if the parts aren't available on there, I'll usually google the part number, if I have it and see what suppliers pop up.
I only use local motor factors or Halfrauds if I really need the part urgently.

In this case, give lrdirect a call, they are very helpful whenever I call them.

Mann filters are about the best imo
£50 quid for a genuine td5 fuel filter what a rip off

Manufactures and dealers make a bloody fortune out of spares. Main dealer discount from the factory was in my day 68%. Trade discount was normally 30% but could rise to 40% or 50% on certain items. Now you are lucky to get 20%.
