ZS MK2 Numberplate Bulb holder
Before I give Rim-yer-brother's my hard earned... Has anyone got a couple of MK2 Numberplate Bulb holders?
Rimmer's say this is the correct one: http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-XFC000160 But it doesn't look anything like the units I have sat in my bumper... then again the units i have don't fit! They just fall out and I can't do anything with them like changing bulbs etc... Further, I spoke to my local MG Rover (ex) Dealer... who said it was a good part number (XFC000160) but since the picture is generic and my numberplate is listed as a MK1 (but only for the rear!!) he can't guarantee it will fit... - Do I risk ordering the wrong part??? |
XFC000160 is shown as the correct item for cars serial number 637209 onwards so if the number part of your vin is 637209 or higher then it will fit
|
Thats the correct part for mk2's

how come my lenses look like this? Attachment 4159 Attachment 4160 Actually, looking at that it looks like the loom has been cut as well... hmmm.... |
It certainly should fit.

I've just looked at your pics, they don't look like the original lights.

So Ideally I need someone who is breaking a MK2 ZS Saloon! so I can get the bulb holders and a bit of wiring loom to repair this... Apparently any MK2 ZR, ZS, 25 or 45 will do! |
It looks like it, as long as they haven't cut the mounting about to make the replacement lamps fit

One of the "cobbled together units" is totally fried, even replacing the bulb (which took 30 mins to do) didn't get it to light up again! Now as this is an MOT failure I guess I have five options... 1. Find some replacement fixings of the same size as these duff ones 2. Make up some sort of bracket to hold the OE lights in place (although no idea how to do that, I don't have a 3D printer or manufacturing equipment) 3. Replace the whole bumper - Guessing this would be very expensive!! 4. Use some MK1 fittings and self tappers to fix it to the bumper (fine for short term but will destroy the bumper further and be a pain to change bulbs in future) 5. Hand the car to a body shop and get them to fix the OE units in place So, unless someone has a MK2 Rear bumper in Black locally going for cheap.... I will have to give this some thought! |
