Need a good Rover mechanic in Wolverhampton area-any recommendations?
I'm looking for a good mechanic in Wolverhampton area who specializes in Rover 75 repairs. Has anybody got any recommendations.
Also has anybody got any experience of dealing with Russell at mgroversolutions-he seems to have good reviews but a bit concerned about how good a job he can do on the driveway (possible head gasket problem on 1.8 engine) Thanks Andy |

Hi Andy,
there's the MG Garage Summit at Dudley (the Newey's are real MG Rover) enthusiasts, or Austin Garages up at Burton upon Trent. Personally I wouldn't use a mobile guy, but some do.

Andy thanks but not for head gaskets, it needs to be in a garage, hopefully Summit will lift the car for him then valuate what's happened.

Suffice to say the car now runs nice and quiet and I really cant fault the guy. He made removing and replacing the cylinder heads look like a walk in the park and in the 12 months since the work was done there have been zero issues. I have no doubt he would sort your HG issues in the space of a morning and can't recommend him highly enough . Alternatively, if you really don't want a mobile mechanic, I don't think you're too far away from Lates. Cliff

Having seen and drooled over Cliff's car on many occasions, if he recommends a mechanic you won't go far wrong.

Thanks for recommendations for Summit at Dudley-I will give them a call tomorrow and see what they say.
Lates at Coventry looks interesting but a bit further away. My preferred person would probably be Russell at mgroversolutions but looking at his location he is the other side of London (170 miles away) so I don't think somehow he would travel to me!! I have left him a message as I'm sure his knowledge/advice would be invaluable and hope he will return my call. |

Russell at MG Rover solutions i would highly recommend as he changed the head on my 75 1.8 and gives a good guarantee. Really pleased how my car runs now. He did the job outside, no problems.
