Help Rover 75 headlight conversion rhd to left for continent/permanent?
information for my father who is currently in Spain. He has taken his right hand drive Rover 75 2.0l diesel out there forever. The car is mint and he has renovated everything underneath, powder coated sub frames new clutch etc it is like a brand new car. The car passed its MOT here in England, but failed in Spain because he needs to refit left hand drive headlamps permanently. Do you know of anywhere I can get these? Ebay is silly money? Does anyone know of anyone breaking or salvaging parts from a car? The part no for the lhd units is XBC002560. I have emailed someone in Portugal and also someone in Belgium but had no reply. Many Thanks

Das Auto ist Minze und er hat alles unter renoviert, pulverbeschichtet Subrahmen neue Kupplung etc, es ist wie ein neues Auto. Das Auto fuhr seine MOT hier in England, aber nicht in Spanien, weil er Linkslenker Scheinwerfer dauerhaft Umbau braucht. Kennen Sie überall kann ich diese bekommen? Ebay ist albern Geld? Kennt jemand jemanden zu brechen oder Bergung von Teilen aus einem Auto? Der Teil nicht für die LHD-Einheiten XBC002560. Ich habe jemanden in Portugal gemailt und auch jemand in Belgien, hatte aber keine Antwort. vielen Dank

De auto is mint en hij heeft gerenoveerd alles eronder, gepoedercoat sub frames nieuwe koppeling enz. het is als een gloednieuwe auto. De auto doorstond de APK hier in Engeland, maar slaagde er niet in Spanje, omdat hij moet permanent refit links rijden koplampen. Weet je van overal kan ik die krijgen? Ebay is dom geld? Weet iemand van wie breken of berging onderdelen van een auto? Het deel niet voor de LHD-eenheden is XBC002560. Ik heb per e-mail iemand in Portugal en ook iemand in België, maar had geen antwoord. Many Thanks

My daughter took an audi to spain. It failed when she took it for the spanish mot because of the UK lights, as yours did. We tried to get LHD headlights from all over, but all the replies were for RHD. The suppliers were trying to be helpful, as it was UK specification (by the car model number).
Eventually, the local garage took it for another MOT, same station, and it passed ! (without any modification, still UK lights). All it needed was a little backhander.

Remember it was between the locals, not 'incomers'.

Hi, My rover 75 is now on Spanish plates.

I bought one of the front lights off smc trading and the other from rimmer bro's. They worked out about £200 for the pair in the end.

Don't pay ebay prices.... they are a rip off £500+ if I remember. Also there are lots of scrap yards in spain and they are very helpful, go along and look for some secondhand ones. They also have a database on what's around!!

Just to add to this last time I was posted to Germany I had a Rover 820 but could not get lights for it for under €1000 so had to get rid of the car.

Thanks for the lead Andy. Have made them an offer. ( I think. Lol. ) the advert was a bit vague.
