Looking at their website part numbers ending with 'P' are described as aftermarket which says 'pattern part' to me.
Those with 'P1' ending are described as by an OEM maker.
Land Rover ones are described as 'genuine' & I'd expect them to be in a LR logo'd bag or box.
Be interesting to know what impeller type would be on a genuine LR dealer supplied item. Assuming it wasn't something in a blue box....

I did read on one of the BMW parts sites that early ones on the BMWs were plastic & disastrous & subsequent ones were a composite material. Metal ones also available but not as genuine or OEM parts.

You are correct Grrrrr. No point in trying to send it back. Better use it as paper weight or a door stopper and never buy from Rimmer brothers , again.

They will only be in a Land rover box after being taken out of the container from China and put in one.

An Indian Canberra bomber crashed on landing after flight test killing both pilot and navigator. Ran off the runway because the brakes failed. It was later found that the apparently genuinely boxed Girling brake pads were made from compressed cow dung. There were more found in the stores. True story.

There's all sorts of stuff in genuine brake pads. It is more of an art than a science mixing the stuff up. Nut shells was one ingredient IIRC.

Maybe but cow shit wasn't. Boeing had thousands of counterfeit Hi-Loks in stock at one time. They hold aeroplanes together.

Recently I bought genuine " Lemforder" suspension arms with bushes for my Audi A4 from a German supplier. I assumed it's real Lemforder , German made, but in the box it said 'Made in India'. Knowing Indian quality, ----tpart is better I would say.
