Which Oil Seal Manufacturer?

paddy700d · Sep 29, 2013

Which would you choose for the crank seal Bearmach, Britpart or Allmakes? I'm just in the middle of doing the cam belt and then the rear crank seal too so want decent ones (a Britpart won't be used lol).

Cheers,

As long as its oem doesn't matter. Use jamesmartins code and all will be good.

Right so as long as it's OEM it's going to be fine.....so why is so much britpart stuff just utter garbage? I know they made (maybe still do) genuine spares but you only ever seem to hear bad things about them (except their HD yellow springs lol).

They are a supplier, they buy lots of cheap crap as the market wants that. The G on the end of the part number means genuine, same as landrover. You can't stick the G on third party crappy parts.

what he said

Its the cheap pattern stuff thats crap, OEM (ie "G") is the same stuff as put on in the factory, just not in a box with the LR logo all over it.

not sure anyones pattern parts are much better tbh, for any vehicle.

buy from reputable places then

I was meaning at the point of manufacture, thus passing off to any and all suppliers a sub-standard part. I might be overthinking the situation, but China is only a hemisphere away!

branded oem, so like timken, lucas. But yeah sure, anyone could make knock offs and get it into any supply chain. Batteries, watches, shoes, bags, boots, food.

nothing ,but britpart or bearmach wouldnt sell those, their cheap **** is sold as such , but retailers are a different matter perhaps who would know if only going from the box lr boxes arent hard to fake

johnny curt 1 · Oct 2, 2013

it would have to be a coin toss

heads = bearmach
tails = allmakes

should the coin land and settle on its edge ..........get a genuine landy or freightrover one

just dont ever fit a britpart one

i fitted a ****part one to a 12j diesel engine i fitted in me series and the seal lasted about 10 miles so it was engine back out and a bearmach one fitted wich now im gonna sell the landy knowing its reet

paddy700d · Oct 3, 2013

Well today I received an EER2532G seal and a few other bits from Barry 4x4 (great service as usual

). It's an Allmakes one but has the all important G suffix so all should be good (I hope!!)

Cheers for your input guys
