Hi there. I am hoping someone may be able to shed some light on an issue I am having trying to replace the dipstick tube connector on my 2004 ZT with KV6 engine.
Rimmers list only one part number for the item, ( part number LYC 100510) which I purchased but was not suitable as the hole in the collar is not large enough for the tube to pass through. DMGRS stock the same part number, but mention a change to this part in 2004. They have told me there was no information from Rover regarding the change.
I looked at replacing both the tube and the connector, but a new dipstick tube for the KV6 is £300+ while those for some of the other engines which were also used in the Freelander can be purchased for just £30+( How that can be warranted I will never understand)
I am hoping that someone on here may have come across this issue before and may be able to point me in the right direction for the correct connector?
Many thanks
