Skatiechik   10 #1 Posted April 19, 2006 I just thought I would reccomend leisureways in Rotherham as being a good motorfactors to go to if you are in need of any parts or accessories. They also have a machine shop as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Skatiechik   10 #3 Posted April 21, 2006 It is where we go for all our Maestro and newer Rover parts, very good especially if you aren't to fussed about getting genuine items from Rover. Dan (the other half) has always found them very helpful, and if it isn't on the shelf out back it is normally ordered in for the afternoon, or next day.  It is near Rotherham footy ground, there is a big car park so no worries about parking.

(http://www.thehappymotorist.co.uk/findus.php)  Just had a look at their website and they actually list parts available for Metro Turbo, woo hoo I've noticed over the last few years a lot of places were no longer stocking bits like filters, plugs, water pumps etc for my turbo. Thanks for recommending. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Learned to drive in a metro with a choke, my turbo metro has a choke, but my GTI metro was my first car that didn't have a choke.

Mutley00 Â Â 10 #10 Posted May 18, 2007 Agree wholeheartedly with Bratwurst, for such a small place their stockroom must be like the Tardis. Shame the lad with red hair left, he was an encylopedia of all things classic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
