Is that a Jubilee clip on the straight pipe? If so, that's your problem.

Dad bought the car from an ‘approved’ MG Rover dealer, 19/6/15, mileage 16500, where it had a full service.
There is coolant change, 3/7/08 at 10060 miles, with the previous owner in the cars history.

Hi Calum, you can get the 'proper' pipe clips from Rimmer Bros, eBay and traders here.

Or the chopped down slant 4cyl version used in the dolomite. My first ever "foreigner" job as a 17 year old apprentice. Never to be forgotten.
