Hi

Sorry if I am spamming. Would anyone know of a goods Rover knowledge garage near Bolton. Looking to have my 75 health checked.

All seems well but a little concerned about the servicing.

Last service stamp 2016 67000 miles
Current miles 70000.

Any advise would be appreciated.

The 1.8 is very easy to service, oil and filter for starters, plugs gapped to .75 .8 mm, air filter, pollen filter, check belts, that's a starting point.

Horners at Swinton - Rover specialists, set up by former Rover/MG mechanics.
(they are on the T4 map)

I've used Horners at Swinton for 10+ years for all work on the 75s I've owned (diesel and KV6 variants) I can highly recommend them, always honest about work that needs doing and they've even fitted parts I've sourced from DMGRS with no problem, the do my servicing and MOT work
