Spares manufacturers+shops: Who are the Good, the Bad and the Ugly?

Following on from this topic:
Are BRITPART clutches decent quality?   http://www.mud-club.com/forum/index.php/topic,56749.0.html

I wondered what people reckon of the various manufacturers of spares out there.

What I want is good quality solid stuff and I'm prepared to pay for up to OEM-level parts but I don't know which makes or shops are best for this (and I don't want 'gold-plated' stuff)

I'm very new to this game, but I'll kick off with some of my own experience:

Scorpion: high quality but pricey

Frog's Island: high quality but stunningly pricey

Britpart: cheap and cheerful but a lot of question marks over their quality from the Land Rover community (not just as seen in the CLUTCH thread above)

Have you tried a land rover main dealer.


If your after OEM your probably best avoiding any shop that has more than one page of advert in LRO or atleast specify specificly that you want OEM when you buy, thats my experiance anyway.

CNorman:
Have to say a lot of friend buy from Scorpion and find it very good.

Have to say from what i have seen that they produce excellent goods.

Disco Matt:
Paddock are brilliant as are Famous Four - Paddock ease ahead in that race due to having a fully functional e-commerce site rather than having to phone orders in. As for parts, Delphi/de Carbon (shocks made by Delphi) seem fine, Bearmach are good although I only have a steering guard from them so have limited experience of their products!
