Britpart advice...
So... I've recently won £200 worth of britpart vouchers! Amazing as I've literally never won anything before in my life!

The problem I've got is that I've never bought anything from britpart before.
Mostly due to people referring to the company by a slightly different name!

Is that just related to the sort of "servicing" type parts rather than bolt on stuff?

I was thinking about getting some chequer plate etc. Guessing it can't be that bad can it?

Any other suggestions on what to get?!?

That could be a bittersweet pill for some people! Now it wouldn't be very good if you as a prizewinner ended up with complete cack Whistle

The "OEM" level stuff is, as you'd expect, fine.  1988 90 Td5 NAS soft top

As has been said. I doubt the naff Britpart stuff is stuff you would normally get in any kit consisting of "goodies". It is mostly repair and replacement items like seals, bearings and filters which are not good. 1998 110 300Tdi White Hard Top

Ah but it's not so much a "goodie bag" that I've won. I can simply choose anything from the catalogue up to a value of £200!

Hence the question of what to steer clear of... Will definitely steer clear of service parts!

There seat covers are ok along with the cubby box I found. Good thing is neither really has the potential to kill you, just annoy you Laughing

I'll second the seat covers. We've had 2 sets and they are pretty good.

Also, I have the Britpart +2 HD springs on my 90 and we did over 15K miles on them around Australia with a heavy load, often on sand and gravel with rough corrugations and they worked really well, no issues. Our blog - http://landytravels.com/

Retrim fabrics and kits are also good. I bought 2 front seat Techno retrim kits some years ago, and they are considerably cheaper than buying OEM or Exmoor, and they all fitted perfectly, and quality was as you would want. 1998 110 300Tdi White Hard Top
