I am guilty of this myself, asking where I can get this or that or buying second hand, which sometimes isn't the best thing to do.

All you need is the MG Rover part number and enter that into Google followed by the word equivalent

For example: lhg100750 equivalent

This is the crankshaft pulley damper and it brings up a whole host of posts with either the exact match or the equivalent part.

Many parts fit numerous makes of cars, as it's not often that a part is unique to that one vehicle only.
There is a parts alternative thread that pops up every so often. Sometimes with interesting alternatives (I think track rods ends are same as a certain sharan model as on example). Try searching for 'the interchangeable parts thread '. It is an interesting read and reassuring sometimes) .

Just to add,sometimes by adding L to the end of the mgr part number, will give you the land rover part number equivalent which quite often is cheaper.
