A CLAIM that MG Rover spare parts are becoming difficult to find has been dismissed by servicing centres.

Members of the Midlands region of Acfo, the fleet managers’ association, heard there had been reports of recent problems with availability.

But this week garages said they were not aware of any. A spokesman for Souls Motor Group, which specialises in servicing the brands, said: ‘I am not aware of any problems at all. All our supply has been fine.’

The statement was backed by Dreadnought Garage, based in Perthshire, which said there were no reported servicing problems.
