I recommend Kevin at MG/Rover specialists repair centre, Wicford.
He really knows his MG/Rovers, always does a good job and is very reasonably priced.
I have used him several times for repairs on my 75 and ZT-T that I have not been able or not had time to do and always been happy with his work.
I can P.M. you his phone number if you are interested.
Hope that helps, Paul.

I'm not far from you and use Chelmer Autos in Springfield, Chelmsford. They know all about the timing belts job and have a T4, but I suggest you speak to them first and get a quote. Their number is 01245 465601. If you can travel a bit further, try speaking to Trikey on here too. Also up in Norfolk I have recent experience of Freelander Specialists (they completely rebuilt my KV6 and are very knowledgeable about this engine, as some Freelanders also used it). Their number is 07809 575421. If you want to talk any more about it, drop me a PM.
