Could be, but Rimmers delivery charges let them down.

This ^^^^^

For anything but large items their p&p is horrendously overpriced.

Rimmers are great for that difficult to find part and offer a great service, however they are expensive to start with and their delivery charges are monstrously over the top, so I personally avoid unless I absolutely have no choice.

They are only bargains if you actually need them, otherwise they are dead stock, which is probably why they are reducing the prices!

on the left side of the page I think you can filter for just the Rover 75

To buck the trend, I had to order some parts recently and found Rimmers were the cheapest - they dropped their P&P charges 2 or 3 years ago.

Rimmers charge Xpart RRP, whereas Endon Services discount the RRP - but the postage was cheaper from Rimmers AND was next day delivery vs. 4-5 days, and because of the difference in postage cost Rimmers worke out cheaper overall with the bonus of quicker delivery. Surprised me

Rimmers are also quick at dispatch and if you ever do need to contact their customer services, they have been very helpful.

I think Rimmers have upped their game in response to criticism and negotiated a better postage deal. Remember hat the basic price is set by Xpart.

EDIT - it was smaller items too that I ordered, whereas Endon charged for a courier and Rimmers only charged Royal Mail 1st Class.

Always felt Rimmer Bros have been generally good value for the service provided. A huge stock of parts, with some excellent deals and offers.

Recently collected a brand new front subframe for just over £130!

I wonder how other genuine parts suppliers for other brands compare?

I bought a new spoiler for the R8 coupe and it was only £10 delivery. Excellent service and arrived very quickly
