The 'Interchangeable Parts Thread'

So this sticky is just for that If you know of any items that are interchangeable with other vehicles, post them up here and we can build up a good list.

Lets start where the idea began with:

INFO: Inner + Outer Tie rods - Can Use VW Sharan & Ford Galaxy Parts

I just fitted Inner rods....and they aren't the same...they fit, but to fit correctly(butted upto the stop)....around 3mm has to be sawn/ground off the shorter of the two threads...........

So dont expect these to fit exactly without this modification....(read to the last post in the link above)

Sorry TC, I didnt see your post above....

The front fog lights on the pre facelift ZT are the same as the jag X type up to 2005.

BMW E39 5 series undertray fixings; male and female; the shorter screws, will fit our cars. I'll post the part numbers later!

ZT 260/75 V8 rear ABS sensor is the same as BMW E39 front sensor.

MG part number: SSB000280
Actual BMW part no printed on the sensor: 61.12.6-908.705
But this is the same and easier to get: 34.52.6-756.375

You are all dead right about the Land Rover parts
We have been using many LR parts for the 75 & ZT's for a couple of years now in our workshop as they are more readily available and cheaper than genuine MG Rover.
We are always researching alternatives for our parts, as it is the only way sometimes we can keep our customers cars on the road.
I am quite happy to add items to this thread as we find more alternatives.
I will also add items which we have used and have had problems if that also helps.
If any members have problems with parts, please PM me, we are always happy to try and help.
