britpart is a wholesaler not a manufacturer they sell oe and genuine too, mostly cheaper than others so unless you go to main dealer its likely to have come from them anyhow,fitting cheap pattern parts from any wholesaler is accompanied by risk,and with only using synthetic and lr filters you have no idea if it is actually any better than any other ,as it happens i dont use alot of pattern stuff ,but do use britpart brake discs amongst others and after fitting a considerable amount over 25 years never had a problem ,even on my own automatic after 3-4 years, saying avoid britpart like the plague is like saying avoid tescos cos they sell cheap beans when they also sell a range of beans
