Unreliable my a**e. Over the years i've owned various MG's in all shapes and specs. Alteast ten if not more. They've had problems yes but not one of them has ever left me stranded at the side of the road. They've always got me home.

I ventured to Vauxhall once, an Astra Coupe, within a week the alternantor went and left me with a dead battery 20 miles from home, Replaced the altenator at the cost of ?130 for a re-con unit, alot more than a re-con one for an MG, a week later the altenator belt snapped even though it was brand new and left me stranded with another flat battery.

I also bought a BMW E46, had it two weeks and it blew a hose and dumped its coolant all over the M6, Left me stranded.

Long Live MG

I know these problems could happen with any car even an MG, but the point is it never has with any of mine. In actual fact i did have an altenator go on one of my ZR's but it still got me home unlike the Astra.
