I needed a steering knuckle for the FL2 - Bearmach were knocking them out at like £45 as clearance - I asked why, they said they were closing...sad to say the least!

I've found a bunch of Hawkeye unlock codes in a drawer. Do you think there's any chance to get them to work now that they're no longer on the market?

What's the reason for them going under?
Too much competition.
Land Rover owners spending less money, fewer of us?
Something else?

Perhaps a decline in the quality of their product? I used to always use Bearmach, but in the last couple of years I had trouble with the quality, part not fitting, manufactured incorrectly etc. The last one was a flexible steering shaft for the P38. The spline for the steering column end was the wrong size (too large) so it couldn't be tightened up. When I got in touch I was told they would refund, toss it in the bin, we can't replace, all the rest of the stock is the same.

Yep. I had some P38A engine mounts of theirs and the ****er sheared off torquing it up. Looked and you could see the crystalline structure of bad casting. I had to put the originals back on.
