"Prices are all for manufacturer parts, not 3rd party."
All manufacturer service items are "3rd party". No car manufacture makes the service parts anymore these are sourced and rebranded literally from the same producers who sells them at a third of the price aftermarket.
The discs and pads used on my car were made by Pagid who make parts for all the leading manufacturers. https://www.eurocarparts.com/pagid
or you can choose from any of the multitude of parts suppliers to the manufactures from this list. https://www.eurocarparts.com/brands or just pay the dealer mark-up for the same product.
And of course, as you say if you cant do the work yourself its going to be more expensive.
'The power of accurate observation .... is commonly called cynicism by those that have not got it.
You would have thought that import/export controls should see to that eh? But do you recall the hoo-haa (?) a while back over dental equipment being sold over here? Drills that came to pieces and the like..
I would guess that it's simply not possible to spot check every import batch and check its compliance to our standard regulations.

Surely that applies to "genuine " and " copy " alike?

I work where they make filters for vehicles, mostly lorries, but also cars, and I can assure you that all brands are the same inside. Just different colour and branding.

I would have thought it applies to all imports/exports given how many recalls you get from manufacturers due to dodgy parts not performing to spec.
What … like only importing stuff conforming to strict standards agreed by a group of countries all working together? What a good idea that would be 🤔
and maybe they could all get together so stuff didn't have to be checked going between those countries, and if they could agree to let people from those countries travel without endless checks and red tape. What a good idea THAT would be, rather than massive queues for freight traffic at ferry ports

Just because the public can't heed the warnings to view the walrus from afar it would seem that the only solution was to kill it.
