Has the closure of MG Rover effected you? are you bothered about the end of the last mass produced British car?
We supply rubber seals to the automotive industry and will probably have 40 – 50 redundancies on shopfloor and staff. Will keep you posted.
Be seen and be Safe!
It is a sad loss to what’s left of the british car industry but I think it was pretty much a foregone conclusion, not enough investment, poor sales, iffy quality at times and too many sticky fingers in the board room too!
I currently work for a logistics company within Land Rover (used to work for Land Rover itself) and I’m getting out of automotive now, it’s too bloody dodgy now and Ford do not take prisoners!!!___________________________
Elvis is dead…get over it!I drive a Rover and luv it…… is the easiest car i`ve ever driven but have to agree on the “iffy” quality. I bought my car brand new and at 4,000 miles had to have a new engine and at 6,000 miles had major problems with the gearbox. I wrote to Rover and they were very good and fixed all the above free of charge and extended the warranty another 5,000 miles but my cylinder head gasket went at 18,000 miles and I wasn`t covered. Am sorry to hear bout the redundancies all round tho.
Don`t ride faster than your guardian angel can fly!
Mate of mine bought a new MG VF a few weeks back. Had a text from him saying only he could buy a car that became a classic in less than a month!
Very sad times for British car companies and suppliers. Knock-on effect will be huge in the Midlands where I live.
An unfortunate fact of this country now.. we no longer manufacture much of significance!! Current government too interested in maintaining a high pound so making exports too expensive.
To “ERR” is natural.. to really fowl things up needs a politician!!
Does the sad demise of MG Rover mean that Triumph Motorcycles are now the largest independently owned vehicle manufacturer in the UK?
I have run a Rover 600, an 800 and a 75. Liked all of them.
Donate – Or Imperial Data will have you sorted!What must P**s a lot of people off is the large payout to the bosses at Rover. Thats the trouble with having it in private hands, They’ve taken all the cream and discarded the rest. And that has happened throughout numerous industries, a lot of this has happened through privatisation.
I’m not riding fast, I’m just flying low. and please DONATE to this website
