	XPart speaks out to MG Rover customers XPart, the company that owns and operates the entire spare parts business for MG Rover, today reassured owners that the ongoing parts support of their vehicles is in good hands. XPart, a division of Caterpillar Logistics Services, is largely unaffected by the current difficulties at MG Rover and is running its spare parts distribution operations as normal. "With Ј40million of parts in our warehouse, and strong ongoing partnerships with the 800 companies that supply parts for MG Rover models, we are in an excellent position to maintain uninterrupted supply to MG Rover dealers worldwide," said John Parkinson, Chairman of Xpart. "Whatever the outcome of the negotiations at MG Rover in the next few days and weeks, it is important that everyone who owns one of the three million plus MG Rover vehicles on the road today understands that the entire dealer network is supported by a thriving, dedicated and world-class spare parts business." XPart's Desford facility, one of the largest warehouses in Europe, carries the manufacturer's total range of parts required for all MG Rover vehicles, present and past. Kev

I've heard that that is what is required of them, though I've heard 7 years too (given that in Canada a car can be bought on 7 year finance, that'd be pretty awful - pay for the car and you can't get spares!).

And the last Montegos and Maestros were built in very late 1994. Not that far outside the 10 years, is it?

Guy, A box full of bits that includes the electronic ignition and carburettor modules, starter motor one door mirror (mirror broken) a couple of driveshafts, gearbox (not the Volkswagon one), clutch bits and flywheel - as these have been sitting in the garage and shed for around 10 years I'm not too sure of their condition.

Cheers Guy, There is a fair bit more than listed, but it's all buried under a load of stuff in the shed and I can't recall all that's there - but as you say, it's all for a petrol engine anyway. When the weather warms up and I decide that I need to get into the shed for the gardening stuff, I'll pull the box out and get a full list. Brian G
