Correct, but they are usually of inferior quality.

You do have a choice, you buy it elsewhere, but it may not be the same. My relevant experience comes from being an official Yamaha Jet Ski dealer for Las Palmas for many years and I hope this might be helpful to you.

We sold jet skis to all the hire companies on the island and also in Lanzarote and Fuerteventura. These guys can rack up over 1.000 hours per jet ski in a year so obviously their maintenance is high. The number one failure is the turbine bearings - there are three of them. Now the bearings are not made by Yamaha, but they are made to Yamaha standards. The rent guys can buy locally for around half the Yamaha price and they work fine, but for around 6 months but then they need changing again. The Yamaha OEM bearings can, and normally do, last over a year. So in the end they all bought OEM from us.
Did you miss the part when I said they were ALL the same skf bearing. It's the Sane part it's simply main dealer adding there bit on .

Diesel filter golder on the ducato is the same . Only one company makes em , £69 on ebay , £300 and odd from fiat

No, I did not miss that bit. The same manufacturer makes different quality items, that is a fact whether you like it or not. The Yamaha bearings I mentioned are all made by the same factory, but not equal.

Never mind the garage what about the state of the garden? Lawn seems to have had a giant mole let loose and the brambles I was cutting down on Monday were 2 inches thick!

I spent a while underneath Tams van today adjusting the hand brake and although there is some surface rust in parts it is all in very good order and I’ve seen far worse on a 10 year old van…
I didn’t mean the surface rust but the shape of that part - it sort of looks jagged and broken - but I don’t even know what it is 🤣

That's the brake disc backing plate , they're very thin and always rust. But for its age they're not too bad on this you don't see much of it when the disc is fitted

My brother worked in an Austin Rover garage about 40 years ago, they used to look after some Police cars and their cars always seemed a bit quicker despite being full of crap (a bit like Just Smiffy's shed) he soon found that a lot of the engine part numbers were different for Police vehicles to standard. I can't see how you can have two different things with the same part number.
