How do i tell my zed is a 115

[Jem]

Im being told by someone my car is not a 115 as its not got vented discs but towards the end of MG/R they were just putting things on what they had,The only number i have which is on the car is 112ps.

The v5 form has it down as a 115
The invoice when it was bought as new has it down as a 115.
When i do online insurance quotes it comes out as a 115.

But on the car it has noting to say what it is.

On mine there is a sticker on the pass side by the front door says 83KWT, dont know if that = 115 but I've also seen 113bhp quoted.

There's that govt web page to make sure you are MOT'd and also the insurance web page, I've checked and its come back as a 115.

:hmmm::hmmm::hmmm:

[Jem]

Yea ill add that to the list the gov webpage as that also comes back as a 115.

Mine not got 83KWT on the car but it has it down on the v5,I cant see my zed isn't a 115 when all the paperwork is saying MG ZS+115

Dont know what 112ps stands for?

The only number i have which is on the car is 112ps.

You just said what it is 112PS, anyway try this multiply the PS figure by 0.9864 to reach the bhp total, or bhp by 1.0139 to get back to PS.
As a rule of thumb, you can knock off one PS for every 100PS to reach a rough bhp figure.

For INFO:

manufacturers still quote a power output rating called PS, which stands for Pferdest?rke (literally, 'horse strength'). It's alternatively known as DIN (Deutsches Institut f?r Normung) hp as opposed to SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) bhp.

It will be 115Ps or 112 BHP as the PS is the larger figure.

If it's coming back as a ZS 115 then it's highly likely that they are all correct and this 'someone' is wrong.

[Jem]

Ok thanks chaps,I did wonder what the 112 ps was,Strange some peoples cars have the 85kwt on the pillar and some dont,Maybe they couldn't be arsed to put everything on as time was running out ....:hang:

[will-w]

Mine has a 113PS sticker on the shut, just to confuse things more! ;)

I'm guessing it is a 115 then...

Scratches head and shouts loud:hmmm: lol

Well yes im going to say its a 115 as all the paperwork is saying it and the online stuff.

Thanks everyone:clap:

[Huffy]

Mine says 112 as well, the PS is always just shy of the BHP as far as I know. I think its safe to say that yours is a 115, marketing logic suggests its better to give the impression of 115 BHP in the labeling of the car. :)

[Jem]

Thanks,I think we can now say its a 115 :yes::)

I have to say numpty alert,I thought vented discs have holes in them or little slashes?

But i think im getting things wrong looking at the disc its like there is another disc behind it,Is this a vented disc?

If so the person who said its not got vented discs cant know to much about cars lol

Yep vented discs are like 2 sandwiched to gether with the vents inbetween:)

Holes on the face are drilled:)

i may be wrong but i think all mk2 ZS diesels are 115's. in fact i think all mk2 45 diesels were 115's too.....my 45 club se was a 115.

maybe the previous owner put the wrong discs on??

I see i was thinking because there was no holes then that means its not vented.

There is two versions one with 101ps and the other is 113ps,Same with the 45 models.

Im the second owner and i know all the history from when it came out of the showroom to me having it,Discs have never been changed brakes has only been changed this year from when it was new in 06.

There were defiantly two variants of the diesel, even in mk2 guise..

And you can't 'just put the wrong discs on' as the calipers/carriers are different ;)

the rough and ready rule of thumb was vented front and rear disks was put on 115's from the factory. so solid fronts and drums usually meant a 101. As mentioned on .org tho this is not always accurate.
However if it came out the factory as a 115 it 'should' have a 83KW sticker on the passenger B pillar.

Quite often the dealers just upgraded the map with T5, to charge a bit extra either at sale or as a 'sweetener'

It was my understanding that for the MKII's they only produced them with the 115 map in place, as they are in the same insurance group it makes little difference i suppose really.

[Jem]

Yes im sorry i was being a bit of a numpty it is a 115 as it does have vented at the front and solids at the back.
