Looking at Rimmer Bros (not suggesting you purchase from here mind), the rack part number is QAB000220E (reconditioned/exchange):

Duncan,
My advice is don't buy any replacement at all. Remove your leaking rack and send it to Jay Gee Hydraulic Services in Wolverhampton. They will refurbish it and you'll have it back in about 48 hours. Better the devil you know. Simon

Facelift cars have a better turning circle if your buying second hand.

Lock to lock, it is 3.2 turns for the earlier Rover 75 and 2.95 for the MG ZT.
Later, the MG ZT rack was standardised across the range, so face-lift Rover 75 were fitted with them. The ratios are according to post number 3 here

I recall the usual advice if an alternator goes now is to replace with a new one...but when i worked in the canalboat industry we took failed electrical items to be repaired...an option i wonder if some of us have forgotten.Are you in a position to do most repairs yourself? apologies for being so late to the thread btw....newly subscribed and just trying to get to grips with the forum |
