She failed her MOT yesterday, but she's repairable and work should be finished today, yay.

Failed on leaking power steering pump pipe, corroded front to rear brake pipe and track rod end.

The interesting bit is that the steering pump pipe is no longer available off the shelf, but they use a local company to make pipes to order thankfully.

Now that leads me to the "deal" that was done when MG/Rover went pop in 2005. Wasn't there a guarantee for all parts for 10 years, or is that just an urban myth?

No; I believe the '10 years parts supply' thing is embodied in an SMMT Code of Good Practice - but if a manufacturer goes out of business then all bets are off so to speak.

Which company are they using Jos?

That makes sense. Thanks.

Not sure Loz. It's a company in Penrith, but I'll ask at the garage when I pick up the ZS up later.

On a side note, was that you I spotted in the Burger King car park in Carlisle couple of Saturdays ago?
