New daily hack

[Naughty Boy]

Nothing special like but it's nice, smooth, bit of poke and it has the options I want. Also has a removable tow bar which will be great for me when I pick up my trailer so I can transport my Evo to combe this summer. Spent 6 months looking for one and there are a load of dogs out there! some of them for silly money.

Done loads of work on her this week to get her up to scratch.

Done some work to this now.

Looks tidy, that colour is gorgeous.

That's quite nice,
do the head gaskets go on those like ever other Rover, or are they a bit more reliable?

 

[Djw John]

I think I speak for Cliosport when I say that we werent expecting you to buy that!

What engine is it? Only driven one, very smooth, worringly slow!

It's a CDTI so uses the 2.0D BMW engine so dead reliable. Also the car is a E39 5 series under the skin which is great.

If it's the 1.8T K series it will. If it's a TD, then no.

Ah, beat me to it.

Ha ha ha I thought I might get a few cheeky comments.

Yeah it was s**t in standard trim but now I have serviced the car correctly and fitted the tuning box + maf it goes really well.

Aye it has.

Look closer in pic 1 :approve:

I used to have a rover 75 saloon in this colour and engine. Loved it apart from the awful ride the 17s gave.

 

[Russ_16v]

Ah lol hiding in the garage, has the monster spec increased?

 

[Marky_]

I was sure I was going to see an Evo after click this. I've just refreshed it and I can still only see MG...

 

[Bluebeard]

Nice car! I do like these. So comfy to drive.

Done the swirl flaps?

For some reason the diesel engine fitted to the MGs do not suffer from this problem so tbh not going to.

 

[Bluebeard]

Really? Strange. MG did something right! lol.

Yeah you are spot on, I would not touch any of the other models period. But I really like the look of the ZT Tourers and they way they drove so I count myself lucky I got a good one but like I said, 6 months, almost 1000 miles, and much abuse dished out for wasting my time to finaly come up trumps.

 

[Bluebeard]

The V6's are alright. Its only the 4 pot petrol engines that are utter tripe.

 

[Mork of Ork]

I always liked the look of the ZT in that colour, I'd have the Mustang engined V8 model myself. There was one when I went to the BTCC at Croft a couple of years ago and it sounded great.
