Basically anywhere there is fluid and a plug the plug is Magnetic. This is a no brainer but, for those of you who would want to know why... As the fluid passes around the plug it collects any metal shavings or filament that is floating around in there. My question is, has anyone ever heard of these being available on a Rover? I would love to outfit my Classic with a set. They help a lot and can warn you about problems before they become big problems.   Perrone Ford (Perroneford) Member Username: Perroneford Post Number: 145 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Wednesday, June 18, 2003 - 02:41 pm:    Why don't you just magnatize the ones you have? All you need is a battery and a couple of leads. -P   Paul T.

One could no doubt bore a hole in the huge drain plug of a Rover and epoxy a stir bar in there.   Aaron Richardet (Draaronr) Member Username: Draaronr Post Number: 142 Registered: 09-2002 Posted on Wednesday, June 18, 2003 - 03:57 pm:    i thought you sold the M3   Jason Michaels (H2eater) Member Username: H2eater Post Number: 110 Registered: 03-2003 Posted on Wednesday, June 18, 2003 - 08:15 pm:    I did Aaron, the guy who bought isn't taking delivery until July 2nd so I still drive it around once in a while.
