Another useful source, is to have your car connected to a T4 by one of the T4 gurus. A few years ago, MarinaBrian ascertained that MG Rover, changed the ECU in my car in Feb 1999. I suspect they did this to allow for future updates/upgrades. I could be wrong about that.

Other sources include posting up on all of the Rover 75 and MG ZT forums, asking about your car's history. There is a lot of helpfulness and information out there
I think I can put together the history of the keepers of the car, it's the initial 2001 registration that's interesting - there will be scans of forms from when it was registered which will show interesting light I suspect (and DVLA only charge £5 for this - or did the last time I did research like this).

I've spent a lot of the last 20 years researching 1960's Rovers, usually in dusty registers, the thought of plugging one in to get history is new to me .

I will mail Reebs, I do know him from our involvement with the Joint Rover Clubs etc. I wasn't aware there were more details available. All fascinating stuff.

Will PM you shortly on the other issue.

Cheers
Nick
