They are either designed to have a dmf of not, two different systems. If it’s designed as single mass then they obviously work well. Fitting a single mass conversion can make the car unpleasant to drive regardless of the flywheels job. Just an opinion based on my very limited knowledge and experiance, I’m certainly no expert

'Marmite' Possibly one of the most famous 75 tourers produced! left the production line as the last of only Three Rover 75 tourers produced in Trophy Yellow. 48 hours later Longbridge closed. The last sold ordered 75 Tourer. Paid for by the Phoenix Four and handed over by John Towers to the Warwickshire Northampton Air ambulance service as a Rapid Response vehicle
