Well guys im a bit depressed as I am missing my car already.

Had to hand it in to the garage after some stupid women rolled her vehicle in to mine causing damage to the back bumber and the crash can.

Got a stupid astra as replacement. Well she wont be happy with the price hehe.

Quote came to 1200 quid.

Garage did say it might take a while as they are having problem getting original MG parts.

Hope this nightmare ends soon.

i know your pain very well mate I've been without mine 3 times over the last 18 months, Don't worry about parts they are not that hard to get hold of. It seems that after MGR went under everybody seems to think you can't get parts for them, they are still being made by Xpart but in low quantity's and most parts are made in batches when they get enough orders.

I bought my ZS in March and some girl banged into the back of it after only a couple of weeks of ownership, my garage had no problem sourcing the back bumper and slam panel, they'd fixed it within a week.

Good Luck :bt
