Hey

Nope, I didnt buy a Rover/MG but my girlfriend did! Two weeks ago she bought a '51 MG ZR 1.4 with 40k miles on the clock, last night we were on our way out for the night and as we were approaching the Tyne Bridge (Just before the Swan House roundabout if anyone knows it) her temp gauge shot up and you could hear the water boiling, we pulled over to the side of the road, partially blocking one lane (this is at rush hour) I bet we were loved for that. Anyway, checked under her bonet and the water was BLACK with oil, Mr. RAC came out and took one look and said "Head Gasket Failure" - Does anyone know how much she will have to fork out for this? I told her before she bought it that they were prone to HGF and she didnt listen because "Its yellow and sexy" - Also we made the Traffic News, sorry to anyone who we held up last night

She bought the car from a place in Manchester as it was one of the only decent yellow MG ZR's around on t'internet. I would have stuck my nose in but she gets a bit touchy if I mention anything negative, I didnt go down with them to see the car as I was at work and all of her family are only bothered about the cosmetics of the car. The dealer said "It comes with one-month warranty" but they dont have a piece of paper to say that.

Is it wrong that I feel good about myself because I knew I was right about the car and nobody listend?
