Also my mate has a Disco 2 and a Range Rover Sport, and comes across the same problems, he wasn't surprised when I mentioned it. I don't know if XPART supply Land Rover parts as well, but it seems there are some questionable practices.

I'd rather be told they haven't got the genuine part and they have an aftermarket alternative, rather than being supplied with the cheaper part at the more expensive price.
