Well trusty old faithful decided to start getting hgf on the way to southend yesterday only got as far as Bristol services (from devon) when she started overheating. I thought she seemed a little sluggish on the hills along north devon link road.

is this the correct uprated set?

With this weather and under bonnet temperatures no doubt there will be more.

Your second link for hg replacement is very active on .org, he seems to have a good reputation.

heard of them on other forums.

Do a search on Goggle, might have more info.

Got MG Rover Solutions. based near Brands Hatch

MJS Auto Marine Worthing.

Not that I'm recommending any of them.

If its down in Devon dont know if they travel that far.

You going to do the belts at the same time.

Is the car drivable.

Give MJS a ring, he'll be able to advise.

If I was doing it myself I'd proberbly do the belts and pump as well.
