Default MG Rover garages in Norfolk area

Just thinking ahead for when I move to Norfolk. For those who already live in Norfolk, who do you use for any mechanical work on your 75/ZT? Are there any MG Rover specialist garages in the area?

Cheers
Rick

When I had my Contemporary CDTi from 2010 and 2018 I used to take it to Kevin Fairweather an excellent Motor Engineer. He quoted me on the lowest price to change the slave cylinder and looked after my Rover

Not Norfolk, not a specialist, but my local garage in Chatteris Cambs is good. Honest, trustworthy and not too expensive. I only use him for MoT myself, but all my family use him. He is from the old school of mechanics, we talk the same language even though I am not a formally trained mechanic (Grandad taught me and I've always done my own maintenance).

Yes. Good for us here in the South West. Have you considered Devon or Cornwall yourself Rick? That would be extra handy

Avoid Holdens in Norwich Rick, charged a past member for v6 cam belts and I found the original belt was still on the car.

I wonder who that might have been?


For specialist work - Kerridges in Needham Market as above.

For general maintenance and repairs on the 75/ZT , my local independent is very good and thoroughly trustworthy. It's the Old Forge Garage on the A140 about 1/2 mile from the Magpie towards the A140/A14 junction.

Or perhaps a holiday in Devon?

We're moving to Watton



Thanks all for the suggestions, Kerridges sounds like a popular one.

Anyone heard of or used MG Mecca? They're pretty close to where I will be moving to: https://www.mgmecca.co.uk/
