Hi, I have a Rover 75 CDT and I have found that a buzzing noise comes from the left hand central air vent on the dash. I have managed to stop it so far by moving the vent control either up or down to another position. Cheers Cam - secretary West Lancashire MG Owners. - www.westlancsmg.co.uk ( also an MGA owner)

I picked my ZT up from MG ROVER direct yesterday. One of theproblems Id asked them to fix with teh car was a whirring noise from the area you describe. Now this noise was audible when standing so it may be different but they told me it was leaves int he system. Maybe thats what you got. I dont know how to get rid though, try the blowers on full blast ?

Anyone know of the availability of tech publications or tech CD for ZT V6 (180 Sport)or Rover 75.
(Engine cutaway, suspension layout, driveline etc.)

We used to be able to buy Haynes manuals and suchlike but they seem to be a thing of the past.

At the moment I am where the manufacturer intended me to be - very much on the outside.
I have the material available from the Powertrain website but wondered if there might be anything additional out there.

You need the RAVE CD - a technical publication covering all MG Rover models. The problem is that these have not been updated in the last year and there is some issue over the supply of legal copies but the MGOC and Brown & Gammons were offering them (~GB£50). You can get pirate copies on Ebay for much less, although there is one bug, you need to reset the clock on your computer to view it otherwise it won't open.

I have found if I switch the vent setting from cold air on the horizontal dial in the centre between the two vents that the air noise increases for some reason.
