Best quality parts for my Defender
I'm in the process of mid living my 300 Tdi Defender so have a question about parts quality. I'm replacing the power steering hoses and Britpart are the cheapest but not impressed with the quality of those parts in the past, other than genuine who makes good quality PS hoses, engine hoses, door seals (prefer OEM) etc. Thanks.

There is this good thread, worth going through.

I still need to post my latest mishap with Britpart Aftermarket parts... just simple hub nuts locking washers for early axles. What can go wrong with simple washers? Well, they are oversized in diameter, and excentic, so they rub against the driving member.
Luckily I noticed before using... else would have caused bearing failure from the metal shavings!!

Edit: I just checked my order for the parts, and it is only stated as Aftermarket, so in all fairness, it could have been any supplier. 1988 90 Hard Top, 19J Diesel Turbo, Shire Blue - Restoration ongoing
2012 90 CSW, 2.2TDCI, Santorini Black

dont buy anything Britpart that is made by them and safety critical, I would only buy cosmetic items or branded items from them and only then if they were the only supplier. DEFENDER 90 TDCI XS,

I hope everyone is well and your land rovers make you happy

To me, Britpart is the supplier of last resort.

Well my Britpart door handle just broke after opening the door about 5 times and my britpart mud flaps tore and fell off after 4 months, does anyone know of better quality parts as replacements?, a set of genuine front and rear mudflaps are $400 Australian posted, I'm thinking thats the best option.
