i for one dont relish revisiting the same job time after time after time.of course working outside with no driveway does not enhance the attraction. i dont think that this problem of quality spares is just limited to mg rover. mercedes owners i have read have similar problems with wishbones/lower arms not lasting. these cars were expensive when new as was the rover . when the orders were given for production of these spares originally i bet that they were made of superior product quality materials etc . the numbers involved must have been huge when first hit production lines. so may be a less profit per unit but volumes alone made the difference. dont think the good old days will ever return as far as spares quality are concerned .. but at least we have mat at dmgrs and of course rimmers. without these where would we be ..
