Are BRITPART clutches decent quality?
Snake110:
yep ^wot they said^ ##itpart are rubbish for parts like this
go with a Borg n Beck or what ever their new name is
they are the best
John Clayton:
Thanks guys -your advice is appreciated.
The following is the other type of clutch sold by the chap I bought the Britpart clutch off. It is an 'AP Driveline' clutch but he also describes it as 'Borg & Beck' so I presume AP is the new name:

This is Paddock's 'Borg & Beck' clutch (also branded AP)

The next question is: I wonder which parts on eBay are genuine & counterfeit. This seller seems sound and has great feedback but I can't help noticing that the printing of 'AP' on the box looks rather poor quality compared to the Paddock photo (although it is difficult to be sure from the photo).
The plan now is to send the Britpart clutch back to the eBay chap and pay him the extra to have his AP clutch
Les Henson:
Borg & Beck are now owned by AP, so they are the same item.

I fitted a Delphi 9not sure what the other brand name on the boc was) and though it was a good quality clutch I still killed it quick enough :roll:
mud knight:
cant see what the problem is with britpart as i always use their stuff and never had a problem. fitted clutch about a month ago obviosly to early for probs to occor, and did you know many parts land rover use are from britpart. they also supply the milatry so cant be that bad can they :-k
