Fuel pump gasket - anyone buy from here
I want to get a fuel pump housing gasket kit, just to be on the safe side. Since its a horrible job I don't want to have to do it again.
There are a few places in the USA which sell the kit. However I found this UK place, but I wonder if it is trustworthy/good qualty. Anyone heard of this shop? https://www.lllparts.co.uk/product/s...mpn/4d0298133c |

I've seen the name popup in Google searches, but never used them. You might want to email the following two sites (I've used them in the past with no issues) as searching on the part number comes back positive, as opposed to 'not available'. Not sure about import duties as I've only ordered one item (less than a £10) from outside the UK since Brexit.

Website domain name was registered in 2016 and company registered 2017 so not a scam that's set up couple months ago. But it seems like it's 1 man band set up by Lithuanian guy in London. Was dormant in year one, then declared £20k assets and £7k liabilities next year and £20k assets and £2k liabilities year after. Only 1 employee declared. Interestingly the guy has unusual name with little hits on Google but also comes up as CEO of car parts company in Lithuania, slightly bigger with 30 employees. Could be coincidence but looks like same people. Probably not have parts in stock but orders after somebody buys them and then likely ships from anroad so likely to take a long time and may involve paying taxes for importing.

Quite probably buys in the EU, including from Audi Tradition then ships here after adding any handling/shipping/taxes. There are well-known reliable businesses that do that regularly both here and there.
Not least our sponsors!
