OEM vs Aftermarket Parts
For many years, makers of fine automobiles did not allow auto parts manufacturers to produce certain aftermarket parts for their vehicles. Land Rover was one such vehicle, but in recent years this has changed. There as been a large influx of aftermarket auto parts makers who now make parts for Land Rovers.
So how do you decide if you should purchase parts made by Landrover or buy parts made by other manufacturers? Parts made by the original company that built the vehicle are often referred to as OEM parts, or Original Equipment Manufacturer. These parts have been made to fit perfectly in your Land Rover and are guaranteed to work just like they did when the vehicle rolled off the assembly line. Unfortunately these parts are usually quite expensive and can cost 2 to 3 times more than an aftermarket part made in other parts of the world. In recent years there have been a number of parts manufacturers open up in China and other Asian regions. Because labour and materials are very inexpensive in these areas, often these parts can be sold for very low prices.
When it comes to deciding what parts are best for your Land Rover, there are really only two things to keep in mind. First, if you are trying to maintain an authentic Land Rover, consider using only genuine Land Rover parts. If you aren't concerned about authenticity and budget is your main concern, aftermarket Land Rover parts will be perfect for you.
