Shocking findings! Britpart gaskets better than Payen OEM?!? Comparing the two...... 

"Copper washers... Check with the MAGNET first!" 👍 Thank you Mike

Gawd, this might be the greatest video ever! Who knew you (and us!) could have so much fun comparing gasket sets? I'm still giggling while I write this. Plus: valuable information! And have a happy birthday!

That was a fun video. Some interesting research and advice there. And we even got a nice little 2-player game of Kaput!

can't believe I got so excited about a vid about gaskets and I don't even own a land rover

Hi there, i really like your Chanel, this is really good and useful information for all of us Land Rover enthusiasts.

Another great video Mike. I have mixed feelings about britpart. Some parts are good and others are crap. I like bearmach.

I've thought for a couple of years now Britpart are raising there game and this seems to reinforce that. All power to them.

Picked up a 200tdi all makes headset and an old stock 2015 bottom set today and both had copper washers. Exhaust gasket in all makes kit is the cheapo foil type but rest seem good. Britpart bottom set OK but will be using OE rear seal, elring head gasket and exhaust gasket.

Great work Mike, I will put my hand up and say I never trusted Britpart before, But I will look with an open mind from now on.

Who would have thought that comparing gasket sets would be entertaining. Send Britpart a note about the copper plated steel washers, so they can lift their game and also the missing washers. Hey, they might send replacements to you. It would be nice to have a contents list, after all it is not just mechanics like you who order parts. Britpart has a youtube channel, with some top people featured in it. As for missing bit or steel instead of copper washers, it all comes down to quality control. Good tip about the manifold gasket, as I have only seen the Payan type gasket. I will add it and washers to my next order.

It’s surprised me too! Maybe Britpart has changed its spots after all, mind you they had some work to do to get customers back. I just hope they see your video and change those copper washers!

Cork caskets were supplied in the days when: a) motor oils could damage rubber gaskets. I believe this is no-longer the case with modern motor oils; b) gaskets were preferred in the day when, otherwise superior, flexible silicone sealant would only last a maximum of 8-10 years when immersed in motor oil. A good example being the sump gasket, where a flexible gasket is preferable for an off-road vehicle. Again, some of today's silicon sealants -- e.g. Wurth -- are ideal for this application. Another major problem is that almost all parts suppliers want you to enter your registration number or fill out the make, model, year, etc., so the computer can choose appropriate cars. This is a nightmare if you own something like a Rover 618is. It's an obsolete car where many of the parts are no-longer available. But, it is actually a Honda Civic (no idea which model) and many Rover MGF parts (which are available as OEM classic parts) are out there. It's just impossible to find parts unless you know where they're the same as for another vehicle, because that's what you need to enter on the website. It's all about dumbing down. No use even phoning the manufacturer, as they use the same parts search database.

For crank and cam seals I use LR original. More expensive but i dont trust third party ones not to leak. Elring also make a good gasket set.

Now then.. do you thing a brit part master brake cylinder for series 3 is a safe bet now? 15 years ago I had several fail completely and swore I'd never buy anything britpart that has rubber in it again. ..I did know that britpart steering relays are chocolate

Fantastic video, it's just a shame britpart can't do quality across the whole range. Some of their parts are being polite, aren't good at all. I bought new britpart door cards and fixing kits as the original ones were goosed. Nothing lined up to reattach, and the little fixing pins where way to small.

checked the stc2802G (payen) set i had the other day didn't use the injector washers as i already had some.......injector washers were indeed steel.......magnet picked them up from inches away....britpart injector washers....copper through and through...

I’ve got “brit(shit)part” radiator in my 110 and I’d say it’s every bit as good as an OEM one and far better than the one with the hole it. But I’ve had no end of trouble with other parts. I do buy Brit part gaskets for most things though as it would have to be gold plated to be worth the markup.

You have surprised me with Britpart

Obviously, ordering from LR is a "no-brainer" 🤣 Litterally 🙄

Mike show us how you install the lock tight sealer instead of the t seals

Great comparision video!

Very good review. Very useful. Could you do a review of different 300TDI heads ie AMC v Britpart.

You got too much time on your hands pal 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Your funny 😁

What parts producer you recommend? Nice vid though!

Hope ya found ya magnet attached to the throttle linkage bracket on the injector pump (At least that's what I think it was attached to) on the back of the desk ? Fattrucker

🇮🇪👍👍😂👋

Great vid, very funny and gasket porn wow! Still wont use Brit parts lol.

Never a great fan of ShitPart🤔 would rather buy LR if and when I can!
