I guess I will find out when the guy takes the belts off and see what parts are on it! He couldnt tell me what brands he used, no paper work etc.. most people would remember if they used genuine rover/mg parts im sure!
Im not 100% if clutch is going or if its just me not giving enough oomph when I pull away, am used to driving a diesel
but it was used for towing when Si owned it so could of worn, although he only had it a few months I believe.
Im not complaining though, as you say she is getting on but for her age drives brilliant. Oh and the engine top mount needs replacing as its worn. Not sure if thats a big issue really. Cheers

Surprised clutch is playing up, not done the mileage, as they were changed in 2009 as well. - Again, the Slave and Master were changed, used Genuine Rover Parts - and the clutch kit was a high quality Borg and Beck. The DMF was not changed as that was spot on at the time.
In fact - the whole car was spot on when I sold it (apart from belts needing doing on age)- I'm very fussy, so I'm very surprised you have had issues (although it is getting on a bit!)
