I gave my TF a couple of runs on ebay but no interest - shame coz I'd have been in for it if it had sold.

Wish I had kept it!

Got enough to do as it is now, too many cars, too many needing work!

Well I'm open to offers!
Its too good to break and too good to strip for track so would like it go to an enthusiast

If I had more drive space I'd probably grab this off you - but alas I can't and being honest I'm not sure it would get the use it deserves given the other car I have on the drive (and the other ZS that should be but isn't!)

I'm guessing your new place doesn't have a garage?

just wondering really on the options of low mileage policy and sorn'ing it for 6 months etc to avoid you needing to move it on...

No garage I’m afraid and with 2 other cars and a bike, space is tight.
Would love a double garage and a drive!

Bit of a stinker this week, clutch failed on the MG3 so gave the ZT a run to work. Just as I pulled up, steam everywhere, recovered back home for the second time in 2 days. Despite the freezing temps, only option was to fire up the bike, but nothing. Called the AA, alternators gone. So, last option was to go and get the ZS from under the covers, started first time! So looks like I’ll be hanging on to it for a while yet, sorry Mick! ZT is probably beyond repair at 125k, too cold for the bike and my nearest MG garage is 50 miles away for warranty work, so need to find a way to get it over there. People having been waiting months for clutch parts on the MG3 so don’t think I’ll be back in it anytime soon. Luckily I still have a month left on the warranty so should be covered. What a crappy start to the week though! ZS did me proud, forgot how good it was to drive.

Good old ZS, sorry for your other troubles.

Saw my first MG3 on the road near us, in fact the first new MG I have ever noticed.

Didn't know they had clutch problems, will you get a loan car from MG if they cannot mend it?? Would have thought the warranty would cover it.

Funny how they know just when the worse time to all break down!!!

Good luck with them .

The 3 is now sorted under warranty, it was small pipe that had split so no drama. Had its first MOT and passed first time so pretty pleased overall. They also fixed a rattle in the door and a leaky door seal. 4 new tyres as they had covered nearly 55k! Its a decent little car to be fair, especially for the price.
The ZS has been running well, gave it a full service, front bearings replaced, exhaust bracket rewelded and auto electrician has sorted the flat battery issue. Battery was fine, something inside (believed to be a USB socket in the glove compartment was flattening it. So I am going to keep her and get rid of the ZT :)

Good decision... :happy:

Glad it all worked out well

ZS power
