MG MGF Technical - Source of parts in Scandinavia

There is a bit of a mess here in sweden, as the offical MG/rover importer is changing via some form of hostile takeover. Ordered parts never show up...

Can anyone recomend any of the following:

* Breakers in UK or Germany (or elsewere), that would sell and ship used parts abroad (to Sweden)?

* MG/rover dealers that would do the same?

Hi Oskar,
any of the advertising (banner at the top of this BBS) as well as those mentioned in threads will be able to help.Despite ridicolous U.K postage fares and the strong pound it is the best source for both used and new parts.
Note that many of the non- Rover dealers have better prices on exactly the same spareparts than the main agents. A mail with good description of the needed / wanted parts will usually solve any problems.
Otherwise I totally agree about the Swedish spare-part situation..... What part(s) are you searching for? Some can still be had at old BMW-dealers ,like oilfilters etc.
(Sorry for mention that brand - won´t happend again ;O)

I'll swap you all the parts you need for one night with the blonde one from Abba ;-)

I wonder if the MGF Centre would ship overseas? Are there any potential import problems?

(And that's blonde and without the beard before any one suggest it...)

I think they posted already. No restrictions known to any of the EC countries including UK and Scandinavia.
Shipment costs is another point. ;)

However finding someone who visits frequently and *picks up* there is the way to go.
.. I know someone in DE :)
See for Scotty and/or Roadsterhouse in Hannover. For second hand engine import is someone else located in Leipzig.

So no probs.

>blonde one from Abba ;-)
Bob, hasn't she got to old 4you ? ;)

She was on TV her only the other day Dieter. Looking very good too, maturing with age like a fine wine!
And remember, with age comes experience ;-)

Bob you need a holiday mate!
Why not try Gothenburg Sweden? wall to wall young Agnetha Fältskog lookalikes. Best nightclubs are The Deep, Bubbles or the Palais aka Jurassic Park on a Thursday night if you like them a bit "weathered"

I am hoping to get some more work at Volvo!!!!
;¬)

Neil!
I don't like 'em "a bit weathered" hence the soft spot for Agnetha. I think she's faired pretty well.
Must be all those saunas and Fjordal sea air.

I can confirm MGFcentre ships overseas and worldwide. However please note that (from experience) the painting they offer (body parts) is not only badly done (paint blurbs after 3 weeks), but also doesn't match the color of a 2 year old car. If you plan to buy body parts have them shiped unpainted.

Oskar,
For my wifes car I have ordered parts to Sweden both from Brown & Gammon, Moss, MGF Cetre and Mike Satur. No problem from any of them, got the parcels delivered at the door. But take care of transport cost which can be high! When ordering, and not in a hurry, ask for cheapest transport. Else they might use DHL which is quick (about tree days) but to a high price.

Hi all,
was at a very wet Ring Knutstorp race this week-end and met Jonas P at BSCC (Löddeköpinge).
New owners as from July and they are aware about the situation in Sweden. They will from now care about all MG´s and especially needed parts for the MGF.They also do AH,Triumph and Mini as well.
So why not give them a call, he told me that they will match others prices and have items in stock for fast delivery. As the situation is as present it would be nice to have a reliable source here in Sweden where one can get parts without the usual main dealer hazzle and delays !

BR, Carl.

*smile*
They know already about the MGF.
I assume, a VVC.
