newbie hello!
hi all from a newbie! i've a mg zs+115TD silver with only 45,000miles so far its been a decent motor, it has a few probs which i put down to bad build quality at the end of production of rovers, i also have a 1993 rover 414si which haas a genuine 7300miles & one previous owner, tthis seems to be bulit far better than the mgzs but the zs has something about it!

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!
