Default Front coil springs help

Hello to everybody,

I need to change the 2 front coil springs but I have a problem, I don't find the label that is supposed to be at the rear seat (as it´s said at https://rimmerbros.com/c/MG-Rover-75...le-Information). I have removed everything but nothing, there´s no label.

My Rover 75 is a 2003 comfort cdti and for that engine, M47 diesel, there are 3 different options, REB101420 REB101430 REB101440. I guess that I could fit any of them, but I don't know the difference between them.

Any idea or suggestion?

Many thanks in advance!

have a look at the springs you may find to dabs of paint, I think that too is a code.

It is indeed so try that Ramon, if they are the factory originals. You may need to look quite high up or even wait until you've removed the springs from the car.

Alternatively, e-mail X-Part with your VIN number and they will be able to identify them and supply replacements.

Default Thank you

Thank you to all of you. I look at carefully to the coils spring and the colours where there! green and white so REB101420 are the one I need.

Also I keep the x-parts mail as for sure I will use it in the future. Finally, the links to other post relationated with it were very interesting.

Thank you again,

Rimmers show no longer available for that part number or the superceeded part

As Rimmers mainly get their stock from X-part then they won't have any either.

If you need some quickly then put in the part number into google and there's lots of suitable replacements, go for a reputable brand such as TRW or Suplex

(note: half the springs on Rimmers are Suplex as the original part numbers are no longer available
