Default Rover/MG Mobile Mechanic

Hi everyone,

My 1.8T 75 has been sat on the drive now for 18 months with HGF due to the alternator auxiliary belt snapping and wedging itself into the cambelt. Can anyone reccomend a specialist 75/MG mobile mechanic who they may have had dealings with? I have seen a guy on the web called Russell who has some good testimonials from satisfied customers.

Many thanks

Steve

Russel has quite the loyal customer base, only one way to keep them loyal his company is mg rover solutions by the way Facebook is where he seems to have most contact

Dave from MG-Rover Mobile Mechanics did an engine replacement on my MGF after HGF resulted in a broken piston. They know their job and genuinely love the Marque - highly recommended.

Cheers

MG rover mobile mechanics based in Derby have sorted mine out for me, and are reasonable to price wise. They replaced the head on mine, after it spat a spark plug out and stripped the thread.

They did a smashing job only MGF and the cost was not bad at all, here they are getting the engine out from the inspection hatch!!! ...

Another recommendation here for Russell Walsh at mgroversolutions, top class service by a very genuine guy who will only do what's needed

another option is a company called Rough Luck Racing run by Jon Norris, if time is important Jon usually has the shortest waiting time. Jon will also do pretty much anything that's needed including fitting your own parts and modification work on your drive way

Steve more likely you have bent valves as opposed to HGF. The head will still have to come off of course, but at least it should still be in good condition.
