MG ZS 180
Only 'up for sale' as such as i've taken a shine to dan's zt-t - will be keeping it if nothing goes ahead.
I am a mechanic so car has always been tip top, levels checked every week ( does not use ANY oil or ANY coolant, no smoke on start up, no VIS issues, no funny or unusual noises.

Just over 70k miles, FSH*, I am the third owner, 2 keys and 2 fobs, serviced 850 miles ago** mot'd till sometime in july, taxed till end of november, HAS ALWAYS BEEN RAN ON MOTUL 300V CHRONO OIL when i've owned the car. Had the cam belts replaced 8k ago along with pulleys and water pump, and a coolant renewal.
* has been serviced every 6-7k miles when ive had it :)
** a big service

Since owning the car i have replaced:
Rear trailing arm bushes,
2 new front CV joints ( due to abs rings) and gaitors
Replaced the gearbox oil with texaco mtf 94 ( stuff that it comes out with the factory with)
2 upstream lambda sensors
6 coilpacks ( cost £300!!!)
Thermostat+ plastic pipes
breather pipes
Bigger Wiper blades (bosch)
Recent air con service ( may i add the air con has always worked but serviced it myself since it didnt cost anything)
Brake discs all round
5.1 dot brake fluid
4 wheel laser alighnment was recently done too!
Fixed both VIS motors
Probably more stuff that i cant remember lol


Extras include:
BRG metallic 3 paint
extreme spoiler
'mini' mudflaps
front and rear elctric windows
4x headrests
Traffic master clock
Pioneer X1R satnav and 6 cd changer
Parrot 3200 colour HFT kit
Janspeed rear silencer ( option available from factory?)
Sheddist clutch kit
Oil vapour catch tank
Toyo T1Rs all round
EBC redstuff ceramic brake pads all round
Motobuild springs + rear brace bar
superflex ARB bushes + droplink bushes + front compliance bushes
Dipped beam and front fogs have 6000K H.I.D. conversions + brighter main beam bulbs
MG floor mats
Citroen Mist washer jets
Rover 45 headlights
Calipers painted same colour as the car - although will be painting them black soon
Brighter brake light + tail light bulbs ( halfords upgrade)
And again more stuff that i probs can't remember lol


Bad points:
light scuff on n/s frotn bumper ( was like this when i got it - isnt too noticable)
tiny bit of rust on n/s/f door where it meets the front arch - has been touched up and rust hasn't spread at all - again hardly noticable
O/S front fog light steamed up - i will fix this :)
Wheels could do with a refurb if your fussy.

Forgot to say the most imporant thing, everything works as it should!
Car is always kept below 3-3.5k revs for the first 20-25 min of driving.
Car is washed every weekend, and polished + waxed every couple of months
Car is always washed after birds have sh*t on it ( have seen weeks where i've washed the car 4 feckin times!)

Have i missed anything out?

"Have i missed anything out?"


Price? ;)

That is a cracking example you have, but I can see why Dan's ZT-T is tempting you as it is a stunning car and have seen it first hand. If I didn't love my ZS as much as I do I would be tempted myself.

How much are you after mate? Are the motobuild springs fitted at the rear in those pics as it only looks lower than standard at the front? Cheers, Phil
