Hi,

As per the title really, just saves me questioning the owners all the time, are people worried about putting K series in the title or do they expect me to know (I suspect the latter).

and from the front the access panels either side of the nose-ridge sit flatter (higher) on the Toyota than on the Rover cars to clear the brake servo/ABS gubbins. This means the nose-ridge looks deeper or more pronounced on the rover cars.

Its easy really:
All S1s (unless stated in ad) will have a K series.
S2s as follows - 111, Sports Tourer, Racetech, 135, 135R, 111S all K series.
111R, Elise S and Elise R all have the Toyota unit.
If a K breaks fixes are generally cheap in comparison to the Toyota unit.
