zsdave is on a distinguished road
mine has a couple of probs, well one is'nt a prob its just the iskes n pas are ue changing all around
i've been looking for a set of drilled disks & pads as a combo offer!
i think the mk2 zstd has vented disks all around does'nt it?

the probs mine has is the turbo seems to have a oil leak :O( i think the leak is coming from the compresser housing which is a bit of a sod!
the ther prob is a slightly weeping pipe from the power steering fluid resovoir, but thats an easy fix-going to just get some silicone pipe to replace the knackered one on it!
oh & the exhaust has a very very slight blow that needs investigating!

it has a few strange scweaks & the odd rattle but my intension is to fix the probs & bring it up to as good standard car then try to get more power out of it

maybe de-bage it, or at least remve the badge's that are just stick on ones!

they seem a good car but the fixtures & fittings seem like they were fitted in a rush-does anyone else think that!

they are a great car on the motorway though! & on long swooping bends, its a drivers car for sure! seems like the mg/rover were trying to convey the driving experiance & skimped the interiour!

once the weather warms up i'll work on it most weekends & do some pics

my rover 414 is going for MOT this week, i have it lowered ALOT! & on stock 14" steelies! & a self made stainless exhaust from the manifold back, its a bog stock 16v 1.4 spi engine
it may get a t16turbo with a t28 & front mount intercooler motor in it i have all the bits but time to get the swap done!!!

any advice on where to get bits for my mgzstd+ & where to get work don in or nr coventry would be great! i'll do brakes etc myself but timing belts/headgaskets i'll leave to the pro's
all advise really appreciated!

i'll try to sort pics asap-just gotta get a phone cable!
