KYB, TRW or Monroe are good brands, you should get any of those for less than £50 per side.

Had a looksee at DMGRS.
When I look for the damper in question all that comes up is for a ZT and ZTT. No mention of Rover 75.

If I buy shocks for a ZTT and fit them to my 75 tourer, would I notice that much of a difference?
Reason for asking is that ones for my 75 are either silly money or none existent.

Looking at KYB dampers.
Has any members fitter these? How have they been?

I have fitted a couple of sets of these over the years, I found them to be good.

Ordered me dampers 1pm yesterday. Delivered 10.40 today.
Not bad going eh? Any tips on removing trim from the bootspace on a tourer so I can access the damper top mount?

Its quite an easy process once you find all the screws, it's a shame you're not closer I would have offered to give you a hand!
Essentially: Remove luggage hooks (from floor + side) Remove side trim (cream near the top of the tailgate) Remove trim that runs under the side windows and towards the tailgate Remove rear seat bolster (slide it up and forwards towards you) Disconnect the emergency fuel door release Remove screws (per side): 2 x under floorboard 2 x into the side of the car 1 x into the rear of the car 1 x under rear seat bolster Very carefully ease it out from underneath the plastic cap at the top of the rear seat. You should now be able to gently 'roll' the side free. I open the floorboard a little to help 'release it'. If you have another pair of hands ask them to guide it over the rubber soundproofing near the rear seat. I would also advise buying some replacement trim clips. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LAND-ROVE...53.m2749.l2649 Hope that helps! If you get stuck feel free to drop me a message.
