News feed from Rover 75 and MG ZT Forum


23 01 2009. 17 years ago today I purchased my Rover 75 from SMC in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire.

My purchase might have been one of the last from that garage, as it ceased trading on the 28 February 2009.

“ Lexus cars had a function where you can remotely start the engine to heat up your car, available in the MyToyota or Lexus Link Plus apps.

But now Germany has forced Lexus to REMOTELY deactivate this function so that people cannot start their engine remotely.”

Today I traded my Rover in for a Volvo XC60 as I've been struggling getting in and out of Rover. Got a good trade in for it so happy with that, hope they will keep it on the road. Getting in and out of the Volvo is much easier now. I will still attend the Nano's as I enjoy them very much and have made some very good friends over the years. Shame age catches ...

Hi all

I've recently purchased a KV6 dipstick from Motaclan for my R75. The Motaclan website says it's suitable for the R75/ZT as well as the R45/ZS. Having now searched the part number (LQM100902) online, this only seems to come up as a R45/ZS dipstick, albeit for the KV6 versions.

I appreciate I probably should have checked this before buying, but does anyone know if they are interchangeable with the 75? I can't seem to ...

For Anyone who remembers Keith Barnet from Wolverhampton I am very sad to report that he passed away on 30 November aged 88

Keith attended many Midland Nano Meets and monthly Nano social meets at the Four Ashes, and was, always full of interesting and funny stories about his time on the road as an HGV driver

He was a lovely man and will be missed

I'm having fun and games with finding replacement front shock absorbers for my 75. I know the original's are PG and JG, I have sourced the correct springs and thought I'd found the right shocks, only to be told that seller didn't actually have the items and the right one is no longer available.

Now having searched the internet and contacted several sellers who did have them advertised, nobody actually has the RH shock absorber ...

Hello, Just before I went away for a week without the car the passenger-side headlight wouldn't turn off. I didn't have time to see to it, so when I came back it was still just about on so I called RAC. The agent removed the bulb and sold me a new battery which immediately solved the problem, but he said it would need further attention. Now, despite emailing numerous garages, mechanics, I can't find anyone ...
