Tony Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 Spot the con... A BMW needed a lower control arm but we noticed the new arm had been ground down in one area? It turned out the TRW made arm is also the maker of the arms for BMW but by grinding the BMW mark off the arm it's sold as an after market part and at a fraction of the price.

Rich Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 That's common across alot of manufacturers isn't it? The new alternator for my Accord is made by Denso. Buy it with a Honda label on and it's £435. Take the label off and it's £140!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted January 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 I think it's wrong to have a different counter price for the same product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liner33 Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Jag do this , brake pads in a Jag box are £180 , the same pads in an unbranded box are £40 ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted January 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 It seems a blatant rip off, isn't there a consumer rights the seller is answerable to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
