Rover 75 Tourer rear light fixing
 

Help,had to replace a faulty bulb and when I removed the rear light I found it had been bodged with just one screw holding the light in,does anyone know where I can buy replacement screws and the plastic grommets the two other fixing fit into,any help appreciated as I've just got the light being held in by the rear boot door ������

There's a fixing kit available on ebay, search E-Zee tourer light kit:cool: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rover-75-...AAAOSwtKNay7Fc

The white female connectors in the kit are very brittle so warm them up in hot water.

I like the way they say stainless steel will not rust, it can if in contact with rusty steel.
Don't believe me? Drop some steel wool in your stainless steel sink and watch!

I have seen those fixing kits at the nano a few times now and they fail to work, as already said the white clips are brittle, and the metal fixing will not tighten up enough they also pull through.

But these work a treat thank you (Mickyboy) once you have the old spinning fixing removed pop one of these in and then use a normal bolt or self taper it will spread open the three lugs.

These are used on the sound proofing on the fire wall of the diesel

cut out the joining centre of the three lugs with a Stanley knife.

Once the little piece as been cut out they are ready to push into the hole that as been left after removing the old spinning fixing.

When the three points open up using a 5mm or 6mm bolts they will grip & dig into to the metal body of the hole, tried and tested at last nano ;)

You can see from these photo's I have used differing fixing bolts, number plate plastic bolts fit great too, all are 6mm

Another tip with the white clips is to drill the holes a little so it not to tight, 5mm i think but double check, add a little grease to the ball on the light.

Not forgetting to repair the lugs on the lights also with a metal bracket.

Steve, do you have a part number for these or know where we can get them from ?

Cheers.

Hi Paul.
I do not have a part number as i got mine from Mickyboy, anyone on the forum whom is breaking a diesel would be able to supply you with some, Eddie maybe,

Ian ( macafee2 ) maybe ?

Try Rubnuts
 

Personally I prefer Rubnuts or Rivnuts as here. They'll take up any hole distortion and will certainly grip like sh . . .
