Folks saw on few other mg / rover pages people change their heater knob to other type in mg rover range.

I know they are basically same type but has anyone done an upgrade and is there a year / car specific not to take them from.

if you heater knobs are looking old try taking them off and washing them with plenty of washing up liquid they will look a lot better.

I've just tried this on mine to see - a knife blade behind the knobs and they popped off.

ten years of human fat and skin now removed..


(I assume it hasn't been driven by aliens..).

I tried with knife not coming off. May be I need to put more pressure.. I don't want to make marks on the sides .. Will try this evening when the rain stops !

the knobs have skirts: get the blade behind them and twist hard. One of mine was stuck on and it took a LOT of twisting. If you use a bit of cardboard behind the knife and between the knife and the skirt you should not mark anything.
