Evening everyone - need to get a full service and belts on my new purchase (52, 1.8) so have been quoted £600 from an MG specialists in the Manchester area. Didn't think that was too bad - views? I am aware of the mobile mechanics and have used Rough Luck in the past but by the time mileage is factored there may not be much in it?

MG Obsession in Derbyshire quote £225 for belts and water pump and £129 for a basic service, all inc. VAT, so I would say £600 is on the high side. If it's local though, as you say, you have to factor travel and convenience.

Thanks Neil for the suggestion. I think that sort of saving is worth a trip

After doing some further digging, have found Rover On Ltd based in Nantwich who are MGR specialists and reviews are good so will get a quote for comparison. Appreciably closer as well to Warrington. Anyone use them before?

Unfortunately Rough Luck booked up so booked in at Nantwich for the full mashings for £320. So good shout Neil for suggesting I could do better elsewhere

Got the full service done by Adam at RoverOn near Crewe and top job . Got an exhaust for £90 so he fitted it for an extra £40 so £360 all in for his work. Highly recommend if you're in the general area. Whilst being serviced he pointed out that I had the snorkel and servo brace fitted along with the alternator adjuster so all the key mods have already been done which is a bonus. Not bad for a £1.3k purchase off eBay!
