I would be wary of that, surly if you're selling acclaimed parts ie. OEM or genuine
then wouldn't you advertise the name? DAVE.

In the generic photographs it says “OEM Quality Matching” which suggests it isn’t OEM, but in somebody’s opinion is just a good as.

I’d treat it as after market. .

I've used these a number of times. Never had problems, especially fuel filter which can be problematical with non genuine.

@Andy
yes - Ive used Matford previously and will probably do so again - in the big picture its not a big cost.


Went with Matford and oil from Smith & Allan as per usual Jules

Yes, The title says "OEM" but the pic says “OEM Quality Matching” - an attempt to mislead maybe ? I'll give it a miss.
Over the years Ive saved hundreds of £s by doing my own servicing but always used parts of known quality - be silly to change now really. Jules
