What I did with my Rover 75/MG ZT today?

[Dorset Bob]

I have been having a buzzing rattle from my gear knob at a certain rpm, which has been annoying.

Gone for a "high-tech" fix today.
It was the gate badge, so I popped it off and put some blu-tak behind it.
Now it is sorted!

Broke down twice. Car cut out on islands 2 times. Jacked up the car after replacing no 1 fuse to find oxygen sensor pressed against heat shield with what looked like bare wire showing. All tapped up and working but may need a new lambada sensor.

Or remove the heat sheild. I did the same after I kept blowing fuses. 3 months on and the tape is holding

I've had all this kit for three years but been dithering about fitting it. I'm reluctant to spend more money making something that don't look right and from what I've read and now seen for myself, the headlamps look decidedly drafty. There's a varying gap all round, up to 15mm in places. I've read about some filler pieces to resolve the gap, but can find no info about them or how to get some. No reply Radioguy.

Anyway, I'm now wondering whether the Roewe lamps will sort the problem. I'm assuming they have the same mountings/dimensions as the 75, but would like confirmation, if anyone knows?

I'm interested in this info too, the gap from a distance looks OK, but up close it's massif.
Let me know if you hear anything about this filler which is apparentely some kind of rubber or plastic strip, I doubt the roewe headlights would be bigger but you never know.

Don't know the details, but Radioguy sells them for £17 a set.

Yes they're slightly chunkier than the 75's. Radioguy did import a few early on so they fitted the bumper. Aliexpess is selling them individually at around US$200 per lamp (LHD) delivered UK. I think I'll try the filler strips.
