Needed a gearbox for the Streetwise diesel project as its goosed so looked online and £140-£160 plus delivery was the norm. Looked on Facebook stumbled across Reservoir spares in Redditch a Rover breaker and pinged a request. Within 2 mins a gearbox was found for £40!
Popped over today and collected said box. The chap was really friendly and said he is closing soon but has a massive yard full of stuff. Saw loads of panels, bumpers wiring looms you name it all scattered about. They had a R75 in white there too minus a couple of wings from memory. Brought back memories of my days looking around these gold mines! They are on Rover forums so Im told but they are just off the M42 if you are fairly near.
