I had my entire suspension overhauled in December 2019 by a MG/Rover specialist , worth every penny, I realised at the time on 318000 miles it was worn out and needed an upgrade it was not too dear either in my opinion, all was replaced except rear suspension arms as those were both done in 2018, the rest in December a shade under £700, my god it was like driving a brand new Rover 75 and not a sound over any bumps.. beautiful.
I can honestly say its cheaper in the long run to overall than to buy brand new car, even though i have bought a brand new car as well, its really dawned on me with government threats of banning this and that, we might as well save our hard earned cash keep what we enjoy and drive it until no more ICE fuel if it ever comes about ( doubt it)
my new car loses around £600 per month, each month that's nuts... my new Rover 75 suspension has lost no ground since fitting, shes still only worth £4.50 so who cares.....where else can you drive a depreciation free car NO WHERE
LONG LIVE THE ROVER 75 DRIVERS AND THEIR CARS
I want to see them on the roads..just like the London route master bus years after production completion THEY ARE BUILT TO LAST!!
and great to look at.
