Hi all.
Just doing some background stuff on my new 2001 diesel tourer.
The codes on the sticker under the back seat are:
Front RH: PS
Front LH: JS
RR Damper: H
RR: RG
According to Rimmers (
https://rimmerbros.com/content--name...le-Information) the codes give:
Rover 75 Tourer Front:
PS: KV6 petrol RH Purple/Yellow
JS: KV6 petrol LH Purple/Yellow
Rover 75 MGZT...... Rear Spring
H: Rover 75 Tourer Non self levelling
Rover 75 MGZT...... Rear Damper
RG: Orange
So the rear end looks right but the front end doesn't match
According to the Rimmers info she should be wearing Purple/Brown springs (PT & PH) while the dampers are the same.
A quick search on autodoc (
https://www.autodoc.co.uk/car-parts/.../15909-2-0-cdt) shows Purple Brown available from, amongst other, Suplex :
Part No 28145;
- Length [mm]: 363
- Thickness [mm]: 14,50
- Diameter [mm]: 176
based on the "correct" REB000480 part number.
The KV6 OEM part Number of REB000470 gives:
Suplex part No. 28144
- Length [mm]: 350
- Thickness [mm]: 14,50
- Diameter [mm]: 176
So it looks like the diesel ones are 13mm longer - to take the extra weight of the diesel
Not that I'm planning to change anything until they snap
Thoughts/comments etc.
Cheers.
Andy.
