The 'Interchangeable Parts Thread'
 

After an excellent discovery by milosnikolic a while back about Inner and Outer Tie rods being the same as those of the VW Sharan & Ford Galaxy, a suggestion was put forward by Greendiver to have a seperate section for reference as parts become harder to find.

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:

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

The later 'BMW square box' type ultrasonic interior alarm sensor is the same as on BMW E38, E39 and E46 models - note that some of those have a wider box but the sensor inside is the same. I cannot be sure about the colour match of the box though.

Most wiring connectors I believe are the same as BMW items, which may be useful if you wish to source spares from a scrapyard etc.

The Traction Control Actuator or secondary throttle item 1 on here http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-GRID001558, is actually a BMW part and lots cheaper second hand via BMW listings

Part number 35.41-1 163 163.2

Remember that a lot of Rover parts can also be replaced with Land Rover ones, stick an L at the end of the part number to see if there is an equivalent and usually cheaper LR part.

The Freelander TD4 slave cylinder is suitable for all 75/ZT engines, though the hydraulic pipes may have to be re-shaped or swapped as preferred.

TC

A recent re-investigation into this indicates that the threaded stub on the alternative part must be reduced in length by a few mm to allow the joint to butt fully up against the inner piece. It's covered in the latter part of the milosnikolic thread.

TC

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....

pinch bolts
 

Pinch bolts are a land rover part part number fc112127pl....same as on rimmers but if you are near land rover dealers you will save a few bob on postage...hope this helps

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

Sorry if this has been covered.

Plastic handle for tourer load cover sheet
 

BMW E46 plastic handle assembly for the tourer load cover sheet is an exact fit. The same part. And I'm fairly sure that the whole load cover sheet assembly is the same as well.

The BMW tourer load cover is wider than the Rover one.

I had a couple of BMW ones, one for the 5 series and one for the 3 series and neither would fit.

Hose assembly-heater in/out http://www.southlakesminis.co.uk/hos...3-p-38589.html
This part from Rimmers is twice the price.

Have you checked that South Lakes actually have it in stock though? :shrug:

Hi Bernard
good shout on some of the above but twice the price of parts else where ie
Diesel PCV filter freelander type:smilie_re:http://britishparts.co.uk/products/7...lter-LLJ500010

But this is the same and easier to get: 34.52.6-756.375

Useful info.
 

:) You can get fuel return 'T's from:smilie_re:: [email protected] they are sold as BMW Bosch common rail injector 'T' piece leak off connector, sold @ £4.50 including postage, also sold is the end of line 'L' piece, could be a useful guy for other items & also has an Ebay site, hope this helps guys:D, cheers, John.

R75 1.8T interchangable parts

brake pads and anti vibration springs for 325 discs are same as bmw 330d

xenon headlamp
 

Hi does anybody know if the front sensor for the xenon headlamp that fits on the front suspension is the same unit thats on the E46..?

You need to read the part number off the side of the sensor.
If i recall it is the same as the mk1 mini and another bmw car. (But you need to check this as one car used same sensor front and back and the other didn't.)

Actuator-secondary throttle traction control part number SWY100030 (208 gbp on rimmers and 120 gbp on ebay) are identical with this part from BMW series 5 E39 2,8l.

part no YMQ110720 AND BMW 1-093 697

plastic coolant bleed screw
 

part from BMW £2.65 part number 17111712788.

I posted the part number in case someone reads this thread in the future and needs this part as another member was quoted about £152 for the same part but you would have to read his thread for the name of the stockist

i remembered that the BMW part was the same as mine broke on me when i had a E34 520

hope this helps members save money:shrug::shrug:

In tank petrol fuel filter
 

While investigating fitting the orange clip to the later type in tank petrol fuel filter in my 75 I discovered some info that may be of use. The same type plastic filter/sender assembly was used on the Mini Cooper 2002-2006 (BMW R50/R53) under part numbers 16146757196 also made by Vaico No. V20-0717.
The paper filter comes as a kit with o rings and seals. below is a link to a site which gives an excellent instruction on replacing the paper filter, although it's a mini you will notice the similarity.
http://www.billswebspace.com/MiniR50...erDIYGuide.htm

Brilliant find, thanks!!

Does anybody know if the plastic oil filter head on the CDTi is interchangeable with a BMW equivalent please?
I've tried a number of web searches but can't find an equivalent part number.
The Rover part number is LPX 100690.
Thanks

I would be very surprised if it is not as the engine is BMW and came as a crated unit to fit. You could probably pick one up at the breakers for pennies.

Dartrivet is correct with regards to the handle. The BMW part number is 51 47 7 046 771 - it's also known as a 'HANDLE' or (strangely) 'TOOL' - and it's for a BMW "3-Series Touring" 1998-2005 model (body codename E46, NOT the newer E91). Be prepared for storemen to pretend they've never heard of it, or can't find it. My man had to look it up in about 3 different books before he found it - so if you are sure to tell them the year and model, as well as the part number it'll save you time and fuss.

Ignore the fact that the drawing (if they show you it) doesn't look exactly right - the product that comes across in the bag IS right! You get top and bottom halves of the handle, plus the two screws for (in my case) £12.69. Result! :D (that price was back in 2008, mind, when I first wrote about this)

mikesmith2 is most probably right about the widths of the actual cover-sheet not matching though; I never tried those, and just needed a replacement handle (as Tourer owners may know, or will find out, if you let the sheet fly back under its own power, it will likely smash the handle, so be warned!)

On the diesel, where the top coolant hose meets the engine is a plastic fitting which bolts to the engine, this also has a rubber gasket... Rimmers want £20 delivered just for the gasket. And £50 for the plastic piece and gasket.

I just purchased the full plastic piece and gasket for £16 delivered fromiisland 4x4, it's a freelander part but identical to the MGRover part. Part number LVJ100870L:smilie_re:http://www.island-4x4.co.uk/water-ho...0l-p-8085.html

R75 ZT Engine Undertray (replacement)
 

I found this on ebay:

Search for Rover under engine undertray.

Rover 75 Chrome grille
 

Found this on ebay:

http://stores.ebay.co.uk/it-moto-lin...sid=1105883970

Search for Rover grille.

I did do a quick search in this thread but didn't find anything. So I apologise if this has been mentioned already.

I believe that MK IV Golf side repeaters are the same as the ones found on facelift 75s and ZTs.

They do look very similar but are not quite the same shape:}

Ah never mind then.

I could have sworn I read somewhere that they still fit though.

That is true of many/ all of the VW range. It is also a standard part used on many cars. A difference is that one requires a coloured bulb the other uses a built in orange filter.

Rover 75 V6 Auxiliary belt idler pulley
 

Part number is PQR100781. The following ad provides some cross references to other part numbers.

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/141206278...84.m1423.l2649

One being LandRover part number PQR500160. Does anyone know if this is the same part. I see there are many PQR500160L on ebay at a much lower price than PQR100781 generally seems to be.

Yes, I fitted one and it works fine. Not sure why the part number is different, they look identical on the outside.

Concur. I have bought one and installed it. Needed to use the original bolt etc. Seems the one I bought has the part number for Kia's. MUCH cheaper.

found a couple of more inter changeable parts that fit the Rover 75.
Mini (BMW) era door lock actuators are identical to the Rover 75 ones as is some Landrover ones.
Exhaust downpipe gasket (the 2 bolt metal ones) I believe are the same as the Mini Copper R52 and an Audi A2 (whatever that is !!)

the turbo boost control solenoid on the 1.8t k , is used widely on many different cars from Porsche to Vauxhalls , rimmer part number PMK000030 I found the same part for half the price of the rimmer part ....... http://www.bestpartstore.co.uk/965451

I received one of these filters in a service kit but it is worth noting they are different from the one that was previously fitted in my ZT CDTi & from ones I have seen in YouTube 'how to' videos.

'Original' type (front) has plastic end fittings & clips onto the 'spigot' in the filter cap. The combined assembly is then screwed into place.

Freelander type (rear) is same overall length but 'all filter' - it drops into the housing & just gets held in place by the cap instead. Here is a comparison pic:

http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...247217a6fd.jpg

I must admit the 'original' type seems better engineered to me - are any still like this or has all production switched over to the (presumably cheaper) 'all filter' style?

Genuine MAF sensor replacement part, £76
 

seeing this probably is a tech topic I am posting this info in its own thread here.

After some research I located some MAF sensors that may have been the same as ours but all in theory, nothing proven - until now :).

Having just had a very nervous M5 owning mate watch me strip his MAF, and refit it, I can confirm that the M5 E39 Bosch MAF, p/n 0280217533, contains an F00C2G2029 insert, same as our cars.

SO, if this is a genuine Bosch we have a source of new genuine MAF sensors for about £76 including postage.

That's very helpful as I have just been looking on their website for a Bosch MAF 0 928 400 520 at £119 plus £5 delivery....But I made an offer through Ebay of £90.
If they do not accept this offer I will buy the BMW M5 MAF you have found..:}

Remember markyp, the MAF housing itself will not fit our cars, you will need to transfer the sensor inside it to your old housing. Give the old housing a really good clean while you are at it :)

I also accept no blame if it comes with a different sensor, that is something to argue with the supplier. A genuine new Bosch will have the correct sensor

Worth noting this will also invalidate your 2 year warranty that is given.

Good work to find that the same sensor is available in other housings and slightly cheaper the only concern I have is the warranty being voided.

Thread moved to this this one as it is the most appropriate. Link left in old ;)

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.

Petrol filter WFL000090 is identical with petrol filter from MINI Cooper V20-0717

The O rings for KV6 fuel injectors are identical with O rings from 1.8 Opel/Vauxhall fuel injectors O rings
The part number for the MKD000030 is 93186316 (GM) or 58 17 593 (Opel)

Injectors from Opel/Vauxhall are made by Siemens too:}

KIA caps part Number ОК9ВV 10603 are identical with LUC100150 end caps, they're also significantly cheaper:}

The thermostat from 2,5 KV6 KIA part number 0K9BV1507XF is ok for our KV6 even if it looks not identical but fit very well:}

That's a good find, do they look on quality?

Some people from Russia instaled this thermostat with straight pipe from KIA. I don't know if it is better or not, the point is that the original Rover thermostat is expensive in Russia or Eastern Europe and hard to find:}

190 rear brakes bmw e46.
 

190 rear brakes are the same as bmw e46 325, 330 . if you are needing a seal kit or new pistons and seals fit these.http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2711842046...%3AMEBIDX%3AIThttp://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-3-Seri...item4879877800 They also list a kit for the mgzt but are these seals, and pistons...

Just ordered one for mine, you have to tell them to order from Germany otherwise they may not find it. As of April 2014 they are £10.80 + vat.

Best be quick though, no more being made and only 1283 left :eek::D

Land Rover interchangeability
 

With the above info & a lot of other cross referencing, it looked like the MAF for a 2001(ish) Range Rover also contained a '029' insert.

I bought one (+ the appropriate Torx security bit - again you can order the complete housing cheaper than MG ones then swap the 'innards') & can now 100% confirm it works (having now had it double checked on a T4).

On a similar Land Rover vein - the clutch slave is the same as a Mk1 Freelander, you just need to bend the metal pipes a bit to match up with the car's:

Skullcap Powerfold Mirror Motors
 

For anyone out there who has skullcap type powerfold mirrors, the same motors were also used in older model Jaguar XJ and X type, plus Volvo on the old S60/V70 and XC70, they are not listed as a service item but it is something else to look out for in breakers yards

Diesel fuel filter alternative Mahle KC24
 

I found MAHLE KC24 as a cheap alternative for the diesel fuel filter. It is a bit smaller in diametter, so I used a rubber piece to wrap the filter arround and tighten the filter in the bracket. The thread is the same as the original.

http://i61.tinypic.com/2rhsema.jpg http://i57.tinypic.com/kb387r.jpg

I've only just read this post. :getmecoat:

Reeds, thats very handy to know, I've owned Ford Galaxy's for 10 years now. Those Tie Rods will also be the same on the SEAT Alhambra aswell.

BMW 318D air filter fits our diesels £4.41 ebay "best offer"

I found a list of cars that the 75 appeared on for an after-market performance air filter so there seems to be a lot the same.

Driveshaft
 

I have a worn nearside driveshaft on the ZT. I was looking on eBay yesterday and the freelander V6 driveshaft looks almost exactly like the MG Rover one. Are there significant differences (other than the price)?

if it has not already been covered brake / stop light switch XKB000022

seems to be the same on all these (needs verifying)

Undertray fixings
 

Not sure whether it has already been mentioned but these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3909900083...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Audi/Skoda fasteners are identical to the ones fitted to my 53 Diesel saloon.

They are similar except they have a flat slotted head instead of a crosshead.

You need a very chunky flat blade driver for them. I bought a set and will use them till they rust away, but do find the tight ones a bit difficult to use in comparison with crosshead ones, driver slips out too easily.

I bought some of those, they are rubbish! Get the original ones :)

I bought these a week ago, from a UK source. The quality and service was excellent. No need to compromise.:}

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ROVER-75-M...3D201452416852

Derek.

The plastic arm from the BMW mini cooper is the same

The same as what? :shrug:

headlamp levellers by any chance?

Vehicle Parts Database
 

This is a good site to use for finding supplies


http://www.vehiclepartsdatabase.com/...rover/75saloon


Royster

Front wheel arch bulb access panels
 

The Freelander ones are identical.

Rover 75 part numbers:
Left - CLG000030A
Right - CLG000020A

Freelander:
Left - CLA000030
Right - CLG000020

Note the twist fasteners are separate:
Fastener - CZM100050
Metal clip - KZM000040

Not sure if this is really referring to 'interchangeable' but are the rear lamp cluster seals on the 2002 Connoisseur Tourer / Estate the same as used on the saloon? I can find supplies of saloon versions but none stating they fit the estate models...

The Tourers don't have light seals, that is maybe why you can find them

Stu

Which is why I thought mine were missing.... :duh:

BMW Hand Parking Brake Expander Lock Mechanism 6851439 34416851439 is the exact match for the 2002 75 Connoisseur handbrake expander, and for around £18.

I have been advised to substitute LUC100290 Camshaft Seals for the LUC100150 Camshaft End Caps. Do you know if this is advisable, or not please?

I have been advised to substitute LUC100290 Camshaft Seals for the LUC100150 Camshaft End Caps. Can you advise if this is a good idea or not please?

Just a quick note for anyone after one of these - we have some Genuine MG Expanders in (after some searching) for slightly less than £18 here:
https://www.dmgrs.co.uk/collections/...rings-and-pins

Again, not meaning to tread on any toes - just means anyone after these can combine postage with other bits from us if needed. :)

Yes, in my opinion - we only sell the cambelt kits for the KV6 with LUC100290 instead of LUC100150.

This is because although LUC100150 are fine when fitted properly, it's very easy to mis-fit them leading to massive oil loss and engine failure.
LUC100290 are much easier to fit correctly.

Rover 25 indicators
 

Hi All,

I have done a search of this thread but no results came up...

I have been advised that facelift Rover 25 front indicators may be the same as facelift Rover 75 indicators. Please could someone confirm as I need some new ones for my bumper.

The wing mirror caps from 45 are the same, and probably also from 25 and zs...

saw in rimmers, same part number for 45 and zt and 75 wing mirror caps...

in a breaker at least here in Portugal is much cheaper than from a 75 or zt...

Sorry should have found this in the first place... Same part number, so interchangable: Rover 75 front indicator

http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/MobileVi...%20Mk2&srcin=1

Perfect, thanks for advising then confirming mate :bowdown: I really struggle to navigate Rimmers website at times. Sometimes when I look for parts on their site I find them straight away then other times I can't :shrug:

I know exactly what you mean :duh:

I kind find the other post, this is 75 not ZT!

bmw part number 7007880 black washer bottle cap fits the ZT and 75 its also the 25/ZS cap :)

Diesel Tensioner pulley.
 

Has been confirmed by Lighteningmark that the rover 75 diesel tensioner pulley is the same as the BMW. The spigot may be different but the pulley is the same. £64 as opposed to £150 on rimmers.

Any part numbers or links ? ;):}

Info on above pulley.
Rimmers-pqr000080a - £149.
B.M.W. E-BAY -271992598091. £49
B.M.W. Dimensions 70mm dia 26.2mm width 7mm bore.
I cant find dimension of rover pulley.
I and others would be glad if this could be confirmed. £100 saved.

Before anyone spends any money.... John has requested confirmation from members that the BMW part is the same as that on our engines....

Can anyone help ?

I would imagine that this would be the case, but confirmation would be good :D

HI Barry.
The ebay number above points to the Tensioner pulley in the link below and is of OE quality not original part brand is INA ?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2719925980...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

I have never used one, but here below is a gates one which I should imagine would be a bit better quality again I do not know for sure. and the cost is below the £49 of the INA one.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3114903148...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Also both need to be checked against an original one before purchase

The measurements on the Gates 1 are quite a bit smaller. That's why it would be helpful if someone had a 75 on hand to check.

the bbus alarm is the same as the mg6

Sounder - Battery backed up MG6
Product Code: 30019248

but over half the price of the bmw version :)

It is the same switch for a car without cruise control as it is a single pole switch.
The brake switch for cars with cruise control has the same part number but with an "A" at the end and is a dual pole switch

A last ditch question about front dampers for a ztv6, i'm about to replace mine, and the only options available are the comfort spec ones..
So, has anyone managed to fit bmw 5 series (e whatever?), instead of these? Ideally I would buy some Monroe gasmatic or equivalent, but allas they aren't available...

Found that the gasket kit for the power steering pump in the kv6 engine is the same as the landrover freelander one. Don't have the part number though.

Diesel in tank pump alternatives
 

I have just purchased a diesel in tank pump for my ZT, (the metal pump inside the plastic fuel sender).
On the packaging it gave a list of other vehicles in which the same pump is used.

Very important interchangeable part! - the plastic bearing (idler) for KV6 - LHV100110 can be changed with metallic one from KIA Carnival 2,5 KV6. This is the same KV6 from Rover.

Expansion Tank Cap from BMW part number 17137639023 is ok for our 75, looks a bit different, see the pictures.

Thought I'd post this on here as it may prove useful to others at some point. I snapped the connector to the headlamp washer pump on my facelift ZT when removing the hose to diagnose a fault with the non-return valve.

X-Part only supply the complete hose assembly (DNH000250) and these are £71.63 +VAT from the only supplier I could find (A E Wilcox).

However, I have found that these are made by Hella and are used on various other vehicles. The non-return valve is available from BMW for £9.11 +VAT on part number 61668361447.

And the pump/washer connectors (these are a 90° fitment, two on the original hose are 70° or so, but these are very similar and fit OK) are also available from BMW on part number 61678252741 for £2.00 each +VAT.

Hopefully this helps someone someday!

Zt Tourer rear springs
 

Hello out there,
Does anybody know if the rear shock springs from a zt saloon will fit a tourer ?

Cheers

As there are always problems with fuel pumps this post is definitely worth a BUMP.--:D

Problem is did the pump work and is it still working after two years ? was it an OEM pump, was it the same as Jules uses ?

Don't know if it has already been posted, a search of Jaguar, Adjuster and cog didn't throw up anything..................The headlight adjuster cogs are the same as those used on the Jaguar X type.

There is a full kit to repair x type headlights, in my case the adjusters were fine, but the cogs had gone brittle - luckily you can buy the cogs on their own.

There is also a bodge that can get you out of trouble if your cogs give up the ghost and you need a quick solution - fit a connector block to the end of the adjuster rod where the cog would normally sit

Yes that is a difficult question to answer as the OP seems to have vanished.
However that list is handy because it doesn't necessarily take you to the same make of pump the OP used.

It just lists the users of the same type of pump. Queries with any of the trade outlets to names on the list might come up with a satisfactory pump of another make.--( Maybe. Lol. )

Hi, to answer your queries, yes the pump still works after 2 years & its not noisy.
Unfortunately I cannot remember the ebay seller or the brand of the pump but it was made in Germany.

Hi Stevie.
You may find the seller still in your purchase history on ebay.

Are there any alternative Drop Links that can be found on other cars That can be used on the ZT/75 ?:shrug:

R75 Driving/Fog lamps
 

The front Fog/Driving lamps on the Mk1 75 are the same as on the R25.
When I needed to replace one of mine which got smashed, I paid around a quarter of the asking price of a 75 one, by buying a 25 one.!!! :shrug:

Those prices, were they with the same supplier ?

Front arch liner
 

I can't find a replacement for my front arch liners that is not second hand. Is there some bmw model that could fit on 75.

Very unlikely the liner from any other model would fit, body panel parts are unique to a model normally. One exception was the Granada and later Scorpio (frog eye), which changed the the boot and all of the front end, but retained the mid section of the Granada body.

The fuel filter for petrol models is the same as a Mini R50/R52, and probably some other BMWs.

Can be bought for £10-20 rather than the £40-50 Rimmers want.

That is useful info and would be even better if you said where.

Take your pick :shurg:

Suspension dished washer.
 

It’s not hard to find the BMW dished washer (1096068) , exact same part as Rover but a different part number.

People frequently search for this item from Rimmers with no success.

However it's immediately available as a BMW part.--:D:D:D

Power steering pump
 

Hello Everyone!

Does the Rover 75 2.5 V6 power steering pump interchangable with the 2.0 CDTi?

Thanks,
D.

You need to ask this question in the Technical Help forum.--:D

A bit further down the main page.

Are you meaning this is the rear subframe failsafe washer? If it is how did you find out it was?

Aha !!---I can't reveal my secret source or you know what might happen.---:clap:---

However---go check it out for yourself.---;););)

I got your reply via email and it confused me no end. I now see my post above is not on the thread I thought it was.

I just found out by my own investigation that if you accidentally break the white plug that goes into the brake pedal sensor switch, you can substitute a BMW one instead.
Rover 75 cable looms/harnesses are rare now, so I thought I was screwed.
But I noticed the switch had BMW moulded on it, so I put the part number into Google, and came back as a BMW brake pedal switch plug, for Rover 75 era Beemers.
I then looked on eBay, and saw two at £20 which I snapped up.
You have to study the pin holes and plug design to check it will fit the sensor.
Fitted mine, works a treat.
Now I drive a Rover 75/BMW hybrid!

Evaporator CDTi = KV6?
 

Hi.

Can anyone confirm or deny if the AC evaporator matrix is the same for the CDTi and the KV6 engines?

Rimmers no longer list them so I can't check the part numbers . . .

Thanks

You need to post this in the main forum as this is meant for giving out known facts. You will get a fast response elsewhere.-----:D

Have a look at this thread

Cheers Gents.
Sorry to clutter this thread - it occurred to me after that this wasn't the best place.
Thanks for the link macafee. I'll brush up on my German and check that out!

-A

edit: saying that - The section on HVAC doesn't separate V6 & CDTi. Also I wold guess these are LHD part refs and I know this item is handed.
Good to look through though. Cheers.

You do not have to brush up on German, you can select top right, English :)
