Sport Option ?

chrishumphries · 16th June 2012, 20:04

Evening all, I vaguely remember a thread that stated meteor alloys can indicate a sports option on the 75. Can anybody shed any light as my tourer (131bhp) just failed the MOT on a broken rear spring and I don't know if it would be a standard or beefier spring. I don't have the self levelling suspension fitted if thats any help. My thanks in advance chaps !

Moved to technical help forum, If I remember correctly if you lift up your rear seat cushion there will be a sticker with the details of the car on it.

I thought the sports/comfort option was the ZT rather than the 75 - probably wrong though

I didn't think you could pull up the rear seat squabs on a tourer ?

Yes you can.

Sports was an option on mine, which caused me concern when I had to find the correct spring a while back.

The colour and lettering on the spring is fairly robust, so worth checking the springs first. That can then be translated to a replacement spring. The label under the seat tends to wear.
