Are you ready for a bit of re-assmbly then Carl? Try Mickyboy for the outstanding parts - he breaks cars so should have what you want.

I'm Yorkshire (East) born and bred but the post office still insist that I live in "Humberside" which doesn't exist !!!!

Hi Mike, I'm almost ready. I've had other things demanding my time and attention recently so this has had to go on the back burner. Just got to buy a few bits and bobs.

More than happy to pop round and lend a hand with the rebuild - am away first 2 weeks in October but free after that.

PM me when you have got everything in.

I am mobile again, Huzzah! My eternal thanks to MG John, who took things apart, and to Mike Noc who put it all back together, using up loads of his free time. A quick whizz around the block a couple of times and a top up of oil and water and she is running very sweetly, probably better than before. What I found depressing about this was the level of amateur hour repairs that had previously been done and no doubt with cheap parts. Safe in the knowledge that it's had decent repairs with quality parts, genuine MG Rover parts when available, so thanks again guys.

Great news Carl.

Please congratulate yourself on your patience and determination to see this through to a successful conclusion.

A picture of my car in pieces (shudder). The duo horns, interesting, but I have to tax it before anything else.
