Undotunately agents, I believe, also haveto sell at a set price to eliminate any competition within the co-OP. Reminds me of an old.company I worked for, that was an a1 motor stores agent - which to be fair, some of their relabelled products were quite good, some were sung though, but all were sold at the price instructed. Anyway it was the service that you were congratulating ultimately. For that consideration, eurocarparts always gets my vote- even if their parts and accuracy may not lol.

I hope people read your post and mine so they can make an informed decision about the part they are buying being genuine. Personally I think if the part is made in "2020" by a company that had nothing to do with Rover, there is no way on gods earth I will consider it genuine and I take a very dim view of any company calling it genuine. Makes it hard for me to buy genuine parts macafee2 |

If I go and buy a part for my Omega from Vauxhall, it will be genuine Vauxhall even if not manufactured by the OEM many years ago around the time that the Omega was still in production. Why would it be any different for a part sold by X-Part? For me, a part described as 'OEM' with an appropriate extension will carry far tighter tolerance of expectation than a part described as 'genuine'. You may care to read this thread I started on the very topic back in 2014. https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/for...d.php?t=201127 |

And here, you are buying parts from the business (now part of X-Part) that was part of MG Rover when it existed. It was sold off to Caterpillar/X-Part. I don't see how that is any different from the parts arm of Vauxhall, which is now part of Stellantis the current owner of the Vauxhall brand. |

As our cars get older, we will have to use whatever is available, this doesn’t stop us going to local suppliers for the likes of O rings, seals etc, as more of them than not these are of better quality than the ‘genuine’ parts offered by X part.
