It's had s quick blow over over possibly before Arnold Clark bought it? It's rust and it will be expensive to fix, take the car back for either repair or refund

I have repaired a few rat damaged cars over the years, normally the wiring damage is evident fairly quickly as they chew the first thing they get to. I have suspicion that they are looking at a get out of repairing as MG sometimes do!

They're a solid rear axle so no adjustment

I am getting 5 to 10 years when I check lots of classics live in Garages with no UV hitting them so I wouldn't be changing them at 5 years and possibly under 5k miles

Exactly what I said! Driver error

It was the same with diagnostics on modern ICE vehicles, we learned or we failed as garages, garages are going to have to train up or they will be gone! Dealerships would love that, welcome to 300 squids an hour because there is no competition

Eventually Fred in a garage will be serving these cars, I do anyway as I have discovered that the dealers are totally rubbish and their expertise isn't great either.

That's correct

It does have a magnetic plug or at least mine did have debris stuck to it

The filler plug is on the gearbox accessible from under the passenger wing and the drain is at the bottom, I have a ramp so didn't really take much notice. My only advice is make sure the filler plug undoes before draining!

I suspect this, I was walking back to our car to see someone do the same to me! I didn't confront him but returned the favour when he left. As it happens we were collecting a free charge back in the day whilst shopping. In those days even the rapids could be free. The guy that disconnected me...

We have a little bubble on a rear arch and Scott has worked overtime to get it sorted for us, I have a bodyshop next door who can do it but it's warranty so it's getting done. Clearly some are better than others and we have got lucky

We have now fitted the expensive covers listed earlier and are very impressed with them, it looks good and they are very comfortable

We have some cheap Temu covers currently which work OK but aren't great to look at

Just black waxoil, I will clean any rust and treat with rust killer and we have some great stuff for the sills which are in primer it's used for truck beds ver hard wearing. I will drop all covers and arch guards might as well do it right
