Can you find a BRAND NEW oil cooler (or whatever you were looking at) for a cheaper price elsewhere? Got a link?

As Rich says, Xpart set the prices, not Rimmers.

Don't buy from them then. Can you find genuine parts far cheaper elsewhere?

Soon I'll have the entire XPart catalogue available - and from what I can gather so far, I'll be a good cut under most others.
Just waiting for the final pricing to arrive and I'll grab a price on the cooler, but it'll still be a fair chunk more than a SH item.

Rimmers are very useful when you need a rare or odd part they've kept to one side - you'll struggle to find some bits from anywhere else.

Can you give examples to back up that statement?

Sorry, ive spent £££££ with them over the years, always had good service. Some bits are dearer than others, some aren't. just like all suppliers
