  • Assembly at Rover was semi automated, its was powered calibrated tooling all the operators had to do was pull the trigger when the bolts were in place, that said it's a TF which means it was built during the Phoenix four years during that time tooling was not changed but source materials were, bolts fixing etc were all sourced from suppliers who were forced to reduce costs or new cheaper suppliers, this affected quality greatly also some build methods were reduced so especially in the paint shop treatments were deleted, hence the poor corrosion resistance of TF's compared to MK1 F's, of course this is no comfort to you and I feel your frustration but I just wanted to give a little explanation as why the later cars suffer so badly from poor build quality, I was an Electrical Controls Engineer in Longbridge from 1984 -2000 the paint shop where the MGF was built was my last major project, I worked on the Mini plant from then on until I was forced to work for BMW when they sold (I didn't I left) I then worked for a system integrator and contracted to Longbridge so saw the demise first hand.
