Rimmers Timing Belts by JakeWilson

Following Dad's visit to Rimmers yesterday, he thought I should share the following with you.

Went to get a rear timing belt, of which Rimmers could offer a Patent or MGR part.

Genuine: P/N: LHN100420 Price: £52.02 inc VAT

Patent P/N: LHN100420P Price: £14.34 inc VAT

So Dad asks for the patent one and out comes the guy with a Dayco belt.

Now from what the Dayco EPK states - they make the MGR belts.

So over £30 just for the name!

Good information.

Sometimes the pattern parts are made by the exact same people as the OE parts. Remember that MGR itself is no longer in existence so sometimes Xpart will buy in new stock from other sources, so long as they are happy the quality is OK. This has always been the case, even back un the days of Unipart.
