Hi, changing the rear main oil seal on my td5 defender while the clutch is out next week, anyone used a good after market seal or a genuine Land Rover one? Not heard any good or bad views but I've bought the aftermarket seal but do I need a genuine one?

What is the cost difference between seals?, this is not a part to scrimp on quality as the hassle involved in replacing a new one that has failed prematurely far outweighs any savings made on a lower quality seal.
