What was the problem that it had when you thought it was dead, and the AA or warrenty company had said it was knackered?

Also i think you might be looking for a bit too much on the value side, quite a few low milageMK2's on autotrader at less from a dealer atm...

Anyhoo good luck with the sale, i could not drop down to a smaller car myself!

Is it just me that cant understand this? :blink:

Good luck with the sale

[Simon's ZS-120]

soorry the zr 160 is what im getting lol

[stamford]

Good luck, price might be a sticking point for any new buyers out there as it is a buyers market.

[peterzs]

All the best with the sale, glad you will still be around.

:clap::clap::clap::clap:

[Simon's ZS-120]

looks like i may have to drop the price a bit hmmmm any good price

[Ritchy]

i think that is quite high, also paint the grills back to black as well and people may be more interested, also id advise you that going from a zs to a zr may not be the best move, the zs's drive a lot nicer than the zr's, and feel a lot more solidly built

the zs is such a big car and i dont need a big car i have had a rover 214si and loved it plus a zr 160 is going to be a fun drive if you know what i mean :nuke:

[Ritchy]

just ive been driving my zr which is a nice car and i love it but it isnt as solid to drive as my zs and not as nice going round corners ect and its lowered on koni springs and uprated shocks

[Simon's ZS-120]

hmmm could be the driver

[Craig]

ZS > ZR , end of...........

[Ritchy]

ive got both cars how can it be the driver

[leezs110]

I used to own a ZR160 myself mine was a 2001 model, it used to rattle & creek like an old shed plus was rock hard on the suspension! ;)


The ZS is deffo the better car from a drivers point of view, even though the suspension is firm on the ZS its more comfortable & better to drive than the ZR! :D

[Simon's ZS-120]

the zs comes as a family car its been fun since i had it but its to big for me

[leezs110]

I`m not saying the ZR160 is a bad car though, the VVC engine in them are fantastic they go like stink! :D


Compaired to the ZS though they are rather unrefined, if you get a 160 just make sure the timing belts have been changed as theres two on them because of the VVC! ;)

[Simon's ZS-120]

the zr160 in getting has only got 8k on the clock so wont have to worry for a while

[Maxfly]

the zr160 in getting has only got 8k on the clock so wont have to worry for a while


Mind it is not just mileage but age that affects timings belts so it may well still be due to be changed!!!

[Simon's ZS-120]

3 years old lol

[Maxfly]

3 years old lol

late registered then but as MG-Rover went tits up in April 2005, the car itself is prbably nearer 5 years old. There is a way to find out the actual build date but canna remember how at the mo lol. So iirc you are due a belt change at 6 years old, so next year timing belt time:)

[Simon's ZS-120]

its cool i got loads of bits i want to fit so will be the right time todo it lol

and that will do for now lol im sure this will make it fly some what more

[Marky Mark]

Just a thought, it might be worth waiting to find one with all the above mod's already done, would work out cheaper for you. :happy:

[vanishing days]

hi dont no if this helps but my friend sold an 04 mk2 zs 120+ with full 180 kit with big spoiler with under 50k miles and got 2550 for it its depressing as there such great cars.

[gsinclairzs]

I bought my car last December, so I suppose it could have been the time of year, but................

54 plate 120+, mk 2, full 180 kit, MG/Rover FSH, 4 brand new tyres, 1 Years MOT, 5 Months TAX, brand new back box, 45,000 on the clock, MG mats etc.

Paid ?2200, which was the book price at the time

Please don't think I'm having a dig mate. Just hope this helps.

low mileage isnt always a good thing unfortunatly, make sure the radiators okay from sitting about, plus its always probably had short drives where the engine hasnt heated up right so might not have worn well inside
