I don't think anyone here believes that people at Rimmers sat down and drew all the diagrams. They are obviously sourced from MGR and latterly X-part. Given your "insider knowledge", would you like to comment on the "royalty that Rimmers pay for making the diagrams available to us, the customers, and their cost of hosting and managing the same on their platforms? |

I thought we were - the topic of Rimmers' sale, prices and underlying drivers for the same.
On second thoughts, I agree. Traders with vested interests should refrain from their thinly disguised but regular negativity about Rimmers. Last edited by MSS; 10th August 2019 at 17:20.. |

And members like you should refrain from tarnishing literally every thread I post in, but why practice what you preach eh? I have a lot of respect for what Rimmers do, and have worked with them in the past. No tarnishing going on here. Let’s try and keep it civil and on topic as Pete says, there’s no need for this at all.

Here is an example page https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-GRID002031 and this comment is on the page "Illustrated Items Not Listed Are Currently" Not Available This is a real shame as one could not only obtain a part number to search else where but also see if the bit was right for their year of car and VIN number. macafee2 |

This applies to all MGR models now on their site, but I do have full dealer access to the EPC and will happily look up product codes for members. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This just highlights the point. Rimmers provided (and continue to provide to a slightly lesser extent) a very useful free service that no other supplier provides. Unfortunately, so many abused it by looking up the parts on the Rimmers' site and then going off to buy elsewhere. Some then went further and came on here to complain about their P&P charges i.e. effectively making a negative payment for their parts lookup service. We get what we deserve! |
