That's the problem I love the car and so it kind of feels cruel to drive her into the ground as it were

The circle of life relates to cars too - the broken ones are the ones that keep many others on the road too ... Plenty of engines out there .... Not so many good body panels.

As I said - if the car means something to you - get them done when you can.

Mine were due last January, but as the car only did 28 miles in its first 14 months I've got a small breathing space, I've got all the stuff to do the job, just need the weather to pick up a bit and then it's game on.

On a side note it was recommended to me that a water pump with a metal impeller is better than the ones with a plastic one

If the job is going to be a fit and forget type of job then MG Rover parts are the only way to go
