Unhappy A bit of a game getting the cambelts changed.

I had the car booked before Christmas to have the belts done & the water pump changed, but the garage couldn't do it in time as they were overwhelmed with work, so the car came home with nothing done.

So I started phoning around for prices again & I was quite suprised with some of the answers I got!

One garage flatly refused to touch it!

Three garages said they'd call me back with quote & never did.

Another said they didn't have the locking tools anymore & couldn't take the car on & they were a Rover & MG specialist! But in their defence, they did put me on to the place that's now doing the work.

So in the end YF02 has gone to an engine specialist. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Is it common for mechanics to run for the hills when ever Rover V6's are mentioned or is it just bad luck on my side?
