Sad Times = Breaking MGZS
It has come to a sad time when I am having to break my MG ZS 1.8 120 - its the early signs of head gasket failure, and neither time nor funds allow me to keep her.
I am breaking anything and everthing pretty much. The spec is below, and the car is based in Ipswich, Suffolk. I'm happy to post bits if required, and I have loads of other MG/ROver spares knocking around, so if you need something specific please ask! MG ZS 1.8 120 - Petrol 60kish miles on the clock Original Head Gasket PBT (Pearl Black) Paint Code - Pearlesceant Paint Air-Con Sunroof Manual Gearbox 4x Straights 17" alloys, with good tread on tyres 4x Straights 17" alloys, need tyres 2x full sets of centre caps - metal & plastic Centre Cap Removal Tool Continental Spare Tyre (Emergency Tyre) - doesnt look like its ever been used.

New Maniverter K&N Panel Filter - with Cleaning Kit Half Leather Interior - Black and Grey Carbon Fibre Gear Knob 180 Front splitter 180 Side Skirts Solar Red Touch Up Pen & Aerosol Cans I've attached some pictures below, however the car is dirty in the pictures. The only damage I am aware about on the car is the photo's for you. Please feel free to text me on 07702 480467, request via this thread, or by PM. Also for those who don't know me very well, I have had many dealings of eBay, themgzr.co.uk, and I know a few members in my local area. Many Thanks, Adam :) http://s487.photobucket.com/albums/r..._R25/Breaking/ |
whats a maniverter?
|
lol, i thought that....sounds like some kinky anne summers toy!
|
£50 or so on parts, 3 or 4 hours - head gasket fixed - less time than breaking a car.
|
If you do end up breaking it I'd be interested to see how much you want for the K&N filter and a set of straights.
Do agree that you could probably get it fixed for very little seeing as you've caught it early. |

manivertor is just the exhaust manifold but it has the pre-cat in it too |
Condition and price for splitter please:)
|
PBT (Pearl Black) Paint Code - Pearlesceant Paint
This the colour of the car? Saloon or hatch? If its saloon in PBT im interested in the rear bumper. Price? |
I have to say i am gobsmacked that you are breaking the car for HGF - after stating you dont have the time to fix it.
I know a few hundred quid is not easy to stomch if things are tight - but surely it is better to keep cars alive than breaking them. the rate at which people are going to break the ZS and ZR means we will run out of them that much sooner :( |
Why is everyone scrapping their cars when HGF is a fairly easy fix? I know you get more for the car if you break it.. but eventually there won't be any left!

It seems OTT to strip a car just because its got HGF. Like it was said above, there arn't gonna be any left shortly!! |
I must admit its rediculous the amount of good mg rovers being broken at the moment, just do an ebay search, there must be more 180s being stripped than there are complete.
As said there will be none left before long :( once they are gone they are gone. On the plus side if they keep getting rarer the value may go up in another 10 years or so and there will be plenty of spares in the meantime from people breaking them. Is the glass half full or half empty? I think the best solution is you sell me your splitter and spend the money on a head gasket. Everyones a winner! |

The car is now SORN, and I have a replacement car. The car I'm selling, was purchased from a friend about 18 months ago. He lost the car's history when he moved house so I have been extra vigilant with the maintenance, and before you ask I've had a Rover 25 before for 3 1/2 years so I'm not a novice to these engines. The main (underfloor) Cat is shot on the car, as well as the cambelt coming up to its interval this year as well. If you think the car is economical to repair, then feel free to make me a sensible offer. But when you total up the work needed, the current market value of the car, minus a lack of service history prior to 18 months ago...the car's value whole is pitiful. I could have scrapped the car as it. Then the recycling company would have ripped people off for parts, but I'm not like that because I generally like the Rover/MG brand, and I have always found the forums/clubs/members very pleasant.

I'd probably beelooking for £180ish for the Straights with the tyres also depending on which centre caps you wanted. But I could probably do a deal for £200ish (give or take a little for p&p) Adam :) |
That makes a bit more sense but you'll be having the cambelt off anyway to change the head gasket.

http://i487.photobucket.com/albums/r...g/DSCF3175.jpg I'd guess around £25ish plus some arrangement on p&p Adam :) |

If you check the photobucket link there are some photo's of the rear bumper. Probably looking for £80ish and an arrangement for p&p. Thanks, Adam :) |

If that scuff is the only damage then I'll take it, can I just confirm there are no cracks or chunks missing? Pm me to arrange postage and payment if you like?
|

ZsNutter may be interested in some parts as well and mentioned combining postage costs with you. Would that be of interest to you? Adam :) |

Thanks mate |
Hi
PM sent about air filter payment. Gong back to the wheels/tyres what condition are they in and do you have any pics? I'm also in reasonably urgent need of some rear calipers if yours are in decent nick? |
Quote:
Tyres are good all round. The back ones are Nankang's, (fitted new by previous owner) and the front ones are Autogrip (fitted by me). Wheels themselves are generally good, have a little bit of kurbing, but no chunks or dents AFAIK. Rear Calipers - no idea, but I can check them out at the weekend. Do you by chance need rear disks and pads as well?... Adam :) |
Hey, still not heard anything about the splitter?
