    Surely you'll need a LHD tow-bar..........

    It's the same part for all of the 75 range, whatever the engine or bodyshell. You have to replace the crashbar and run the electrics up to the lightswitch on the dash

    My thoughts.

    Is the exhaust on the same side on a LHD car as a RHD?

    I didn't do that - I just plumbed it into the rear light cluster. Everything is in the boot. Also, it definitely sticks out longer on the ZT than it did on the ZT-T. And... exhausts (one or two) make no difference...

    Rear Differential
    There are only three oils available in the UK that have full sign-off for the unit. These are:-
    Mobil SHC80W140 id
    Castrol SAF-XJ 80W-140
    Morris Lubricants Lodexol XFS 80W-140.

    Capacity 1.6l


    There are two manuals you can get to help. A Rover75/ZT one, and a Mustang one, for the engine.
    (The diff is not in either)

    Hey, thank you for your help, AndyG! Another question please: Is it possible to shut off the auto locking system of the doors? (anti car jacking system)

    The manual i would buy would be the Rover/mg rave CD for the 75/zt but including the 260, usually can be found cheaply on Ebay
