Tony,

I shall certainly contact him. Thanks for the heads up.


Ian,

As for not using pattern parts - I would normally be 100% in agreement. However, needs must. The car has been in the repairers for 7 weeks now. They cannot give me a date when the wing and xeon headlight assembly will arrive from China. The wing fixing strip (cosmetic) is scheduled for February 2011. Therefore you can see my dilemma. I need the vehicle over the Christmas period. The pattern part is insurer approved and the insurer has now given the go ahead to use it in view of the timescale and delay involved. I have insisted that the genuine Rover item is used when it arrives.

Thanks,

Kev
