You're not thick TPS haven't been around for a long time and I only stumbled on them by accident when I was getting a lot of VAG servicing coming my way.
TPS are Trade Parts Specialists, they are owned by the VAG group (VW, Audi etc) and general VAG genuine service parts are approx 40% off list, though I've found A8 parts, due to low volume, only get 10-15% off, plus normal parts (trim etc) only get a similar level of discount.
They usually only deal with trade sales but you can sometimes blag a cash account and get the discounts - plus if you have a local one they will deliver free

Not sure of the difference I'm only going on what I've been told by the parts guy at Chester Audi, I wouldn't want the hassle of buying something not compatible and not knowing for sure if the unit was faulty or just incompatible.
