Can some one lay my mind at rest?

Going to try and keep this basic rather than an essay; just got a nice SARD rrfpr to replace my fse.

It's making a weird noise and I've read of others getting this across other cars but the questions popped up on all of them is it actually genuine sard?

Here's a car making the same sound with a sard fpr.

Both the fuel nipples won't screw in any further, but it seems to be sealed and no apparent leaks? Tried everything I can think of to get them in fully.

Surface Finnish on this side looks a bit sketchy?

Used the SARD site to try and determine it is genuine, and to me I don't see anything to fully determine it's a fake.

This is a fake one as far as I no I got it from Japan when I first got my glanza

[TurboTobz]

That's convincing, the only give away is the single dot on the front where SARD say there should be two!

[akyakapotter]

It worked spot on as we'll until I took it off and the inside rubber dried out and split lol

This one I have is givin me incredibly consistent graphs on my wideband it's flatlining on idle rather than going slightly up and down

these fakes are potentially costing people engine failures surely ??

[TurboTobz]

Erm as far as I know they're prone to leaks and bits which is dangerous enough. I'm not interested in running any kind of unbranded/counterfeit fpr! Reall could do with some one who's a. Got an eye for detail b. knows a bit about these.

Ok, I've found out the threads are tapered that's why the nipples don't go in fully silly me! Contacted 2 companies to confirm its real, but looks like it is!
