Yes, you're correct Ian. That's the definition of "genuine". It's the vehicle manufacturer or its parts agent endorsing the part as meeting the standards set by them.

Agreed. I bought two suspension bushes from X-Part. One was made in China and the other in the UK. They looked identical and they arrived in sealed bags with an MG Rover label.

for me if macafee2 makes the part today and never had anything to do with Rover when they were a going concern, then I cannot see how anyone can consider the part to be genuine. Fraud more like
I appreciate you explaining


Anyone think of buying parts should read what you and I have posted as it is in my opinion, informative.
