There's two here (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ROVER-75-MGZT-REAR-PERFORMANCE-SHOCK-ABSORBERS-GENUINE_W0QQitemZ370251951893QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK _CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item5634bc6f1 5&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14). Not the yellow once, but according the ad they are the uprated versions and come complete with the top mounting unlike the other one

Yes a good price, I bought six rear and four front for the same price from them.

That should set the car up for a few years.

why thanks that's a bit selfish, you'll never need that many, and the old ones can be refurbished any way.

Check that the dampers are not Rover spec as they are black. If they are Rover spec they are softer and not suited to the MG260.

The Front dampers I bought from Premier are Yellow and marked as follows.
ON STICK ON LABLE
F4 - VE3 - 5177 - TO
RNB001080

STAMPED ONTO BODY
RNB 001080
1004VE3 5177 TO

The front damper and spring units BOUGHT OF e.BAY are black and marked as follows:

ON STICK ON LABLE
F4 - VE3 - BO14 - TO
RNB 001210

ON SECOND STICK ON LABLE
RND 001390-QR

STAMPED INTO BODY
RNB001200
1604 VE3 B014 TO

AND THE SPRING REB001210

I hope this helps anyone else looking at them,

Other than the MG Rover part number does any one know what the other numbers mean ?

The yellow ones that the first ebay link is to are only for the ZT 260; the epc marks them as 'manual only'.
