the off-side rear hub flange

My mother has an MGF.

Embarrassing if she wasn't a 57 year old woman but ideal since she is.

Anyway, it has just gone in for its first MOT and has failed because the off-side rear hub flange has gone. Arnold Clark are saying it will take 9 weeks for a new part.

Does anybody know whether the part is common to the K-Series elise and if it is whether I am likely to be able to get one from the usual suspects in less than 9 weeks.

Thanks as always.

Graham

If it was Arnold Clark who did the MOT I would get a second opinion . A friend had issues with them when there was nothing wrong with her car.

Agree that they are crap but car was bought from them and is under warranty. Not concerned about them wanting to do it just don't want it to take ages.

It's the same part as a mini metro IIRC . . .

However this is a big, thick bit of steel . . . how can it have 'gone' ?
