Hi there,

The upper arms on my rear suspension rusted through on my ZT-T 190 so I dismantled everything and reassembled with new parts. Now the car rumbles and makes metallic noises when I drive...

...what have I done to it? :-|

Everything came off, including the subframe which was shot blasted and repainted.
I bought new upper and lower arms from DMGRS and a new anti-roll ...

I am seeking some clarity please regarding where the front exhaust manifold down pipe meets the front port on the catalytic converter.

The car in question is a Rover 75 1999 2.5 KV6..

The flange on the front exhaust manifold downpipe has 2 bolts and they are wider than the 2 bolts on the corresponding rear flange. I ordered 2 gaskets from DMGRS and they stated they are correct front and rear but the gasket ...

I'm now in the process of re-assembling the rear subframe and arms into the car. One item that has bothered me for a while is 'how to torque' the fixing bolts to the subframe. These are supposed to be done when the car is supported by the wheels (have I got that wrong?)

While I have a deep socket, once the subframe is pulled up to the under body, it doesn’t look like there is ...

A bit of a deep technical question. But maybe someone knows something I don't?
My understaning is that the IPK hardware and firmware is identical for all highline IPKs. The only difference is the contents of the EEPROM. I'm asking because I replaced the EEPROM on a petrol IPK with one for a diesel along with swapping the dial plate. Didn't work properly. My suspicion is I've done something else in the process, probably CAN ...

Hello all,

Could someone give me a steer please as to where this part fits? I am sure its part of the exhaust system and sits against the car bulkhead somewhere to stop it turning when screwing in/out a bolt. For the life of me I cannot work out where it goes. Its from a KV6 car.

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 ...

I bought my latest 75 at the beginning of the year after doing all the necessary checks and asking all the right questions. It's a beautiful version - a 2003 Connoisseur Se Cdti - but after sale some undisclosed faults appeared and I referred to AA Mediation, about two months ago. It wasn't bought from AA Cars but from a seller who relied on AA Standards. The seller has finally agreed to consider a written ...
