land rover - poor quality parts - holdfast

Hi

i am not a Land Rover obsessive but i do own 4.

I also own 8 other vehicles which i service, and have been doing for 35 years

there is a growing frustration with the decreasing quality of service parts and safety critical parts. brake shoes, drums cylinders. even OE stuff seems mediocre.

I assume this is to do with the use of far eastern labour and indifferent metallurgy and specification.

i want to buy quality parts. where do i find them, how do i find them? how can i check them?

help!

The problem is exactly as you describe it - there are no quality parts any more. They're mostly Chinese rubbish built down to a price - that's what the consumer asked for and that's what he got..
