SE London is still quite a big area. Whereabouts? Erith, Southwark, Lambeth?

Hi there,
If you fancy a trip out to Southend....I can highly recommend "British Legends"

Steve Tyler there is an ex longbridge worker and a specialist on MG Tf's and Rover 75's

He did my cambelt earlier this year and worked out cheaper than going to the other excellent Guru's on here. (Once I'd calculated travel expenses). Sorry Jules and Lates.

Hope it helps

I have used apple developments in meopham a few times for my car and my wifes 45 and they have been good and would have no trouble recomending them.

Keens of battersea claim to be an MG rover specialist but when I have talked to them they wanted £1100 for the cambelt change on the V6 and said they would need the car for 2 to 3 days!! they also do LDV vans and took three attempts to diagnose a dodgey alternator on one of mine.

Please forgive the "thread hijack" but as a new owner of a 75 can anyone recommend a good independent in S-SW London (between Croydon and Sutton to be precise) or point to an existing list in the Forum somewhere? Ithangyow!!
