What spares to get to have on hand?
Hi folks,
Well, I just found out today that a cousin there who buys and parts out RHD cars that can no longer be driven due to paperwork has a 2005 Rover 75 that he is now parting. My friend has already asked for the main door switch cluster. I probably won't need that anytime soon, but it has been asked for. What would you all think I should ask for to keep on hand for the future? I have room to store quite a lot of stuff (if it fits on a shelf, for example), but can't keep a whole car. Considering the possible need for a passenger door (right side) lock actuator (does that one also control the rear door and tailgate?), I think that would be worth saving. Then there is the U/S fuel gauge. I should ask for the in tank fuel pump and fuel gauge sender, right? Rear subframe and upper arms, I guess, too? What about the ECU? Brian, if I send you an ECU from a different car with that car's VIN and my car's VIN, can you make it so I can just swap it into my car? Thank you all, Glenn

Ask him to break it to component parts put in a sea crate and get the lot across the pond. I would even cut the sills off the chassis for future use.

Somehow I think the soup would cost more than the meat! Hungarian saying - something may have been lost in the translation.

Grab whatever spares you can. Even the bits you might not need, but handy for swapping in exchange for what you might want.

Rear upper suspension arms are a must save if they are in good condition.

Here is a bit more info. His car is a 2003 ZT sedan - MK1. I guess that rules out the rear subframe and in tank fuel pump. What about the rear upper arms and the fuel level sender unit - will they be the same? Would the ECU be any use to me?
Thanks, Glenn

Apart from the obvious which has been mentioned already, you could also ask for the large radiator fan, cowling and loom. The two bonnet catches including cable/junction box and the interior pull handle. If its a petrol then grab the VIS motors and inlet manifold, also the throttle body. Front and rear lights etc...
The list is endless, you will end up with the whole car. |

The subframe and upper rear arms are the same, the ECM isn't though Glenn.
It depends upon what you want to keep, and how much space you have to play with storing bulky items. Brian |
