As you've rightly said, the part numbers that end in SLP are service line parts, admittedly, not something i knew about and as a consumer I shouldn't be expected to know the details of part number suffixes. I've had a flick through their website and I cant see any obvious reference to what the part suffixes relate to, so going to a forum to find this information is not ideal, don't you agree?

There is only 1 MAF sensor listed for the 75 Diesel, the ones you have posted may be the same and correct part, but they are not listed for a 75.

I've found several snippets on their website, including the quote below which clearly states that genuine parts are produced by the original manufacturer. Forgive me for assuming that the parts that would be supplied, would be made by the original manufacturer when ordering a genuine part.

I have absolutely no issue with being sold an aftermarket part, when that is what I ordered. I have an issue with being sold an aftermarket part, when I ordered genuine, for around the same price as a genuine part.

If you walked into an MG dealership and ordered a new MG, but they delivered a Dacia, would you be OK with that?

And no, i don't believe I should be emailing a letter of apology for unscrupulous business practices.

Not really helpful, i had my suspicions the MAF was on it's way out when I bought the car so I had already factored in a replacement. The ECU map was also something I intended to do, as I plan to daily the car for the foreseeable. I'm not new to "performance enhancing mods" and maintaining vehicles.

I actually don't agree. You ordered the wrong part - you wanted an MHK101130 but ordered a MHK101130SLP - Genuine Mg Rover and received exactly what you ordered. These are not "consumer" parts but parts for a "professional" who understands the difference between part numbers. A bottle of windscreen wash is a "consumer" item for a car owner.

Take a look at this thread that I started back in 2014. It explains the meaning of SLP amongst other things. https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/for...d.php?t=201127

Or this one by someone else https://the75andztclub.co.uk/forum/s...ad.php?t=67770

Or this one https://the75andztclub.co.uk/forum/s...d.php?t=119531

There are many more if you do a search.

Hopefully this thread will help others choose the rights parts!

Alrighty, I'll agree to disagree. Just thought It might be useful information should somebody need it, better to be informed on what you're buying.

Ah, that'll be the thread where I was accused of setting up a 'sales stall' when simply providing some input - which anyone would agree is a sensible addition from someone who deals with these companies daily.

QED indeed

Thankfully everyone else in the thread had a little more sense.

I agree that it's useful input - don't let some posters put you off postings findings like yours.
Takes all sorts, and all that

I do agree with this it is only common sense to ensure that the car is 'up to standard' before trying to improve it further.

Now that you've brought this up, my comment then represented something that you did at every opportunity.

The forum was a far nicer place once you stopped doing that.

I will admit that you have a following here and in some people's eyes you can do no wrong. There are those of us who have always been more questioning - perhaps it has something to do with keeping sheep and watching their behaviour!

Nevertheless, well done for your transportantion to a nicer person!

I’m just adding my penn’orth. My recent quest for the correct 1440 springs for my automatic , lead me to Rimmers as at the time my only option to get the correct JM springs. They listed genuine front springs as in stock so I bought them. My invoice however showed service line parts slp. I didn’t order SLP ! A phone call to ask what was going on after the were then showing are not in stock but due for delivery. I was told that because they only had one genuine Rover spring in stock they made a substitution. That was never going to turn up as they cancelled my order due to parts not available. AUTODOC came to the rescue after a recommendation on here and the car is now spot on.

Not wanting to fuel a fire, but as an MG ZT-T owner, who does alot of research before buying parts, Ive noticed this much,
regarding OEM parts and the Original posters comment of -

'The sensor they delivered was manufactured by Cambiare. Not Bosch.
This sensor can be found on eBay for around the £50 mark, I paid £144 with delivery.
I questioned them about this, and insisted that this is returned for a refund which they (in my opinion) reluctantly obliged'

Personally I'm torn between loving and hating OEM/OEMQ suppliers.
lets be honest, if there was no one providing parts for these cars, all our cars would be off the road by now... But I do think there needs to be more of an HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY, type thing, within the suppliers side of things.

I think when most suppliers list items as OEMQ or OEM , they mean its to the same dimensions and spec as the original (so at least we know it will fit)... but maybe not the same quality of materials, etc ... (so might not last as many years as the original)

I think for the sake of the community and the owners of these cars, and for the benefit of the suppliers of parts, we need to have some sort of HONESTY POLICY ... so buyers know what they are getting and potential problems and pit falls ... if owners lose faith in suppliers and stop buying, the suppliers will be gone, and then what options do we have ? then the cars end up scrapped, and the Rover and MG cars, just become a footnote in history.

I think as an owner of an old car, where parts are hard to come by , its a godsend to have the likes of dmgrs, and rimmer bros, etc, who can at least help us keep the cars on the road. and we need to accept their over heads etc, may make it seem like the prices are a bit high, and i genuinely feel they are doing their best to find and provide parts, as close to the originals as possible ... and there might be copyright issues with making like for like parts, where they have to change a few dimensionsetc

basically ... im saying, its better to have these suppliers servicing owners and our cars, than to be without them ... maybe a bit more honesty on their part, and a bit more understanding on owners parts, would be a good thing for the community and the cars in general ... just a thought

Jon cee - yours is a very grown-up post and one that deserves respect.

I am fortunate to have had opportunities to listen to people phone up customer service lines and can categorically say that a large percentage of the public have no idea how to get the most out of the person at the other end of the phone. They start off by going on the attack.

You can always spot the "angry ones" with their posts.

The start of a conversation along the lines of "it may have been me, but what I wanted was...." does wonders in terms of getting what you want the other person to do for you.

Also, in all probability half the cars on the forum would be scrapped by now if it was not for Rimmers providing their website with parts identification and loads of information for free.

Some people don't know how to say thankyou!
