It's an embarrassing problem to admit to in public, but I believe I can perhaps get some sympathy and understanding from you lot.

My knob is all scabby and peeling. It looks awful, is unpleasant to hold and frankly I am ashamed to show it to anyone.
Actually, all three have gone the same way. Heater knobs....what did you think I was talking about?

I have a can of grey bumper paint that might do as a last resort, but what I would like to know is if there are any other cars used the same knobs....some other model of Rover perhaps?
It would be great if I could just go to a scrapyard, find some unwanted old derelicts, compare their knobs to my knob, pull it off and slip it into my trousers....
 
The laquer on mine is peeling, tis nasty. best thing to do would be to remove the knobs and give them a light rubbing with very fine grit wet and dry (2000 grit ish dipped in warm water.) Then give them two light coats of Halfrauds satin varnish. It should bring them out very nicely again.
 
Scrubbed my knobs till the tipex markers came off - they do clean up. The dash light shines thru where the markers were (just)!

Some good Wurth Degreaser and a dish scrubber is all it took me (after i wrestled the damn bastids off):crazy_driver:
