I try not to buy anything made in China. It may be OK quality. British Pacific prices are very resonable any way and most of the stuff I have been getting from them has been made in England. I think we have a big enough trade deficit with china already. Its your money. Just my 2 cents.

Catalog goes as far as King Pin shiznit... Alphabet stops right there.
I wonder if that's the source for rotoflex donuts made of solid rubber, without braided core, and similar goodies.

98% of the Rovers ( Range, Disco, etc.) are made at the LR factory according to the parts, 2% (electronics) Japan. I wouldn't trust the Chinese parts on my Rover, hard enough to replace the British parts, let alone how many times you replace the made in China parts.

It starts at the top of the next column with "Light Switch".

I have no idea, just found them while searching for a part. Didn't even try to contact them.

What? Just because they are made in Britain doesn't mean they are made by the OEM.

The vast majority of parts for ALL automotive manufacturers are made by tier one suppliers and not the OEM.

Just because a part comes in a pretty green and white box does not mean it was made at Lode Lane in Solihull.

The tier one plant I worked in shipped parts in Toyota, Ford and Jaguar boxes. The plant was in central Indiana and shipped parts world-wide.

Do you really think that Land Rover makes their tires, wiper blades, hoses, nuts/bolts?
