Not bad for a car with 190,000 miles on the clock, but it's not a Rover Russ

Sorry my mistake, rear heat shield not brake disc, not sure how I mis read that other than it’s been a long day. I’m not having a go but it’s rare that these cars have no advisories. If the tester had a word with you about the hand brake being better then it maybe should of been an advise? Pass, fail or advise are the options and it sounds as though you’ve been advised without it been added onto the system. Heat shields are also part of the test so anywhere else and you could of had two advisories, maybe testers are stricter round here.

I still have it stored. I would repair then the new owner has peace of mind the car is in good order and both you and MGRover maintain their reputations. If you have plenty of arms can I borrow one? I only have one since I had my stroke! Give my regards to DJ. Adrian. Last edited by deltic08; 8th September 2018 at 01:19.. |

He went off to look at new premises the last time I was there six or seven weeks back but don't know where. Sixty miles further south I hope.

Job done
Well the car is now sporting two new upper arms, and after I cleaned the grease from from the front brake pipe and looked at the perfectly sound green pipe underneath, shook my head and walked away
Nothing was seized, and it really was a case of three bolts per side on this occasion......an hour and a half to remove the old and refit the new So I whizzed a coat of clear cavity wax over the brake pipe as I had 1/2 litre still in the gun after giving the new arms a good dose inside prior to fitting.

Does the back end not need an alignment check after changing the arms, Brian?
