Failed MOT - need to source rear spring carrying arm.

Leander · 6th October 2015, 13:54

My beloved 75 MK1 Tourer just failed it's MOT on a corroded rear offside spring carrying arm, and I need to a new one, or in the worst case scenario, a new subframe.

My local Rover specialist in Preston can't source one for me, so does anyone know if they are still available, or is it scrapyard visiting time again. If so, will an arm off a Mk2 fit as well, or must it be the MK1?

DMGRS has a few in stock I think... Good luck getting it sorted!

Thanks or that - I just emailed him now so hopefully I'll get it sorted by the end of the week

I can't find the part on the DMGRS website - does anyone know what I should search under, and if the part I need is specific to my model - a Mk 1 diesel tourer?

Here you go LINK pick which one you need and away you go. Saloon and tourer are the same.

Thanks Vossy, that's just the ticket.
Just need to hear back from Mat if I can get them this week or not. #

Your welcome, I was looking at these myself as my MOT is due in December and I have a hole in my upper suspension arm too.
