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.

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
