Sorry to here that Andy, don’t care what they might think you have helped and done me proud over the years, your expertise will be sadly missed.

You are local to me and it has always been reassuring to know I had a back up although thankfully I've had no cause to call on your skills. I've been retired some 25 years and have found that the years fly by so quickly. My advice is to enjoy yourself.
Have a great retirement!
John

Andy - I know we never agreed on the best way to fit a clutch to a 75, but I know how much hard work you put into fixing members cars, and your services will be missed by many members on here. Take care and enjoy your retirement.

All the best

Pete

oh no Andy- you have been my Rover's lifeline. This is sad news!
I suppose after nearly 17 years , the Rover's life is limited and if repair bills come along that are too large we will just have to say goodbye to her.
Good luck!
