Thanks bud, I have a friend called Ed who has a donor car in his back garden, a V6. He is going to strip out the brake hoses and he will swap mine for his. He very kindly donated his boot lid handle and a number plate light PCB, whic is now installed, up and running with new LED's. He is repairing the old one, so I can keep it as a spare. When it came off, the rubber seal was rotten and worn. I am hoping the mechanic, who prefers to be anonymous, will be able to check the brake pipes and finish changing the rear left ABS and bearings next week. He said he will do the brake hoses checks etc

As you know, my V6 will be 21 years old next month. I doubt that MG Rover ever visualised their cars would last for so long. I wonder how many other MGR's approaching the 20 year old mark will suffer from plastic/rubber hose corrosion. It is something to be aware of

I didn't know that Ed was verboten re posting.

Maybe a Christmas truce thread for a period over .... well, Christmas ... when some former members may be allowed to post subject to moderation with a view to being reinstated. A Christmas truce.

Morning Bob, morning all.

In the lodges, made a poor choice this time & got one of the very old ones & although perfectly adequate, they're starting to show their age. The last twice I've been in the new ones which are amazing.

Anyhoo, gorgeous morning here this morning but it's going home day..........typical

I know of at least one banned member who visits the forum, but is blocked from posting up. Several of my OC friends are exiled into the naughty room for the banned......I support your suggestion
