I walked out of my job last Friday and I've decided that I'm just about old enough to call it a day. Bit of gardening, shopping etc.

Anyhow, I told the Mrs that as I wouldn't be up and down the motorway any more and she would, she had to use the astra(38mpg) and I would use the ZT(22mpg). So, it's a bright red MG for me! VROOM!

have you made sure the previous owner   has paid for and got documentation to prove the cam belt(s) have been done

rather clutch is on it's way out and main dealer wants £1450. Local indie wants £800+vat.

JCT600 used to flog them and still fix 'em...using GENUINE ROVER PRICES

[Elite Pete]

Same with Barbers in Northwich. You can still get genuine parts but you have to sell a kidney to afford them.
