The engine in my BRM has gone pop and I fancy a change so I'm looking for a ZS 180. Low mileage, subtle colour and priced reasonably please. Mk 1 or 2 I don't mind. I'm in Southampton.

Plenty of good 180's out there, make sure the belts have been done, or knock of ££'s if the price is high. Clutch is working OK, ABS and brakes, thermostat housing in the V hasnt got any orangey gunk round it. Carpets arnt wet.
I think the oil filter in the brm blocked. Didn't have the garage spend too much time looking once he determined it was going to be expensive as it wasn't in top condition.
whats the deal with the zs leaking? Is it something easily fixed? And orangey gunk, do you mean hgf? I didn't think the v6 was prone to that?
I've been working with the Kv6 since it was introduced in the rover 800.
If you was to put it into perspective and look at engine units produced and then compare the amount of units that had thermostat issues then it would be a very small proportion. So it would not make it common or mean that the engine had failings.
Most kv6s have now covered 100k + so are now having signs of things that are now requiring replacement.

It isn`t usually a terminal failure, but certainly a common problem. Ask any rover dealership or even xpart distributer what commonly sells. From ZS to Freelander, raises it`s ugly head throughout the range.
