Re: [doc] OT - Rover Parts - update

["Claire Usher" <claire_usher71@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Nick,

Just to let you know, we called XPart today, they were very helpful 
(more so then the Rover 'Agents').  They told us that (on the 
R45/MGZS) front panels are not available and none being 
remanufactured, and there is a supplier who will be remanufacturing 
bonnets, the presses are nearly ready and production will start in 
March.  

My boss said to say thank you to you and we'll probably end up 
sourcing Rover parts from them in the future :-)

Cheers,

Claire
