Dave C Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Sold the estate 3 months ago after 5 years of happy ownership,while i was still getting interest in it,& it had 6 months ticket.(needed welding etc for the next MOT) The plan was,to get a ZS tdci,because it cost f-all a year to sit on the drive & do approx 2k miles a year,but the missus didn't like them.She wanted a 206CC .. Anyway for some reason i started looking at the zr.. She liked/loved it,i wasnt to sure. Looked at a few one saturday,that were sh!tters. Then spotted this .. 28K, FSH, All electrics,blah blah blah . Viewed it.drove it, liked it, bought it. I know most will be haters & go on about HGF,etc ( i was one of them) but this is a bloody nippy little car,that handles well.. & its a lot cheaper to tax & insure than the escort was,& that was the hole point of selling the hearse http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v196/MoreEVicar/zed/DSCF0726.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v196/MoreEVicar/zed/DSCF0722.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v196/MoreEVicar/zed/DSCF0694.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v196/MoreEVicar/zed/DSCF0680.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v196/MoreEVicar/zed/DSCF0673.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v196/MoreEVicar/zed/DSCF0662.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v196/MoreEVicar/zed/DSCF0654.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v196/MoreEVicar/zed/DSCF0648.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v196/MoreEVicar/zed/DSCF0645.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v196/MoreEVicar/zed/DSCF0637.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v196/MoreEVicar/zed/DSCF0707.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v196/MoreEVicar/zed/DSCF1005Medium.jpg & for a bit of comedy @ ford fair http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v196/MoreEVicar/zed/DSCF1011Medium.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its 103/5.. They done a three different models 105 (mine) 120 & 160 lol @ the big arse,, the seats are small,& do hug you like the GTi,Si seats. Its a good spec car really, compared to the hearse.. Thanks Caled are you on .org? All ive done to it so far is change the alloys.The ones on it when i bought it were pants.. Ive not got any other planes for it, but i might add gti skirts in the future .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, on .org, xpowerforums and themgzs.co.uk I got a little confused at first, as Id just been reading xpf and thought I was still on there for a second. Did they do a TDCi ZS? I thought the ZS derv was limited to the agricultural L series? Also, nice to see another MG on the site, there are a few of us here now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave C Posted August 23, 2010 Author Share Posted August 23, 2010 I thought it was you.. seen you over on .org yeah, they did a td zr too. but don't really know alot about them .. Their not a bad car, its just the HGF reputaion that they are stuck with. If you look after them,the HG may last years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caled Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 I thought the MLS put a stop to all that HGF nonsense? That and the redesigned oil rail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave C Posted August 23, 2010 Author Share Posted August 23, 2010 (edited) MLS it the upgraded landrover gasket,so is the oil rail as far as i know ? . They all came out the factory with the same crap designed gasket . Edited August 23, 2010 by Dave C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caled Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 I think it was land rover who modified them? Either way, I reckon the HGF on those engines are one of the main reasons they went under. Will also be interesting to see how the N series goes in the MG 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave C Posted August 23, 2010 Author Share Posted August 23, 2010 yeah, landrover redesigned them ,removing the rubber beads. all these people selling mk2 zs,zrs etc,saying that it has the new uprated HG,is just a myth. The reason you don't hear of many m2's with HGF,is because they are only a couple of years old. Give it a year or two,& there'll be loads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
