Been a while again.

Hello all, hope all are well and still having fun??
It's been a while since I've been on here properly after selling the ZS, still miss the car but I knew I would.
Things yet again are on the change for me, the 6 will be going soon after some appalling service from Mg themselves I just can't be bothered with the new cars now so that's ok it's way out and I'm replacing it with something totally different once it sells.
Will state, nothing wrong with the car at all drives great and does everything you want it to very well, just Mg (at least my local ish depot) are a bunch of ***** let you fill in the blanks but I've just had enough of them for now so am going to go get something I've wanted for a fair few years now.

Anyway, another waffle out the way there but I am now in possession of a "work runabout" a family owned from new 1 owner 98 Rover 400 hatch 1.4le in white!
Not actually that bad in all honesty and with only just turned 51k on the clock I cannot complain as it's just a work horse really.
Saying that, as most on here know although it is a work car it is in need of some minor adjustments as at present it does look "classic rover" in my eyes lol.

If anyone knows of any or looks to possibly sell the cheaper civic coilovers that some were looking to fit to the ZS a while back then I may be interested as with the 1.4 I know they will work well and barring the rear bolt diameter fit straight on. So if anyone does know or is looking to sell please feel free to get in touch

Then it'll probably get some 14 or 15" banded steels so just low and subtle.

I only have one pic at present but here she is in all her current glory

Also was told a few weeks back now the new owner of my zed has crumpled the front end in, can't find the pic he sent me but it was really quite gutting to see her looking so sorry for herself

Cheers buddy, not a bad car really and for 16 years old drives absolutely bang on.
Been offered some 135 cams to go in it so am just looking into if it's worth doing it or not. But really just want to lower it a little and some wife wheels and leave it so it's still useable for the daily 50 mile commute.
Needs tidying inside but orherwise a smart littl car really

Shame the service is so poor from MG!!! Not the first person to complain about it.

Does make you wonder about their commitment to the MG brand.

Car looks good.

I think half of your eBay views on the 6 must be me! Would love it but can't afford it very surprised it hasn't sold yet! Still got the goodies on it?
400 looks tidy!

Hey Andy, I know what you mean ref the devil you know. I think in hindsight I should've kept mine as the work run about and then got something different for the family fun car.
Yeah the sales side was great but the aftersales care was truly appalling and they don't really care if you don't fit in to thier way of thinking.
Still, just means they won't be getting more of my money spent in the franchise.
Yes mate, low miles with fsh to go with it, my nans from new and passed down to me
It'll get there but will only be subtle bits for this one as getting fed up blowing money on things where it's not needed. It'll never be fast but can make it look smarter for hopefully little money

No Pete, definitely not the first and it's the same branch causing the issues. Shame really as that sort of service won't push them forward.

Cheers mate, hopefully will stay lookin smart too

Ah I see, it is a lovely car and would otherwise keep it but after having a couple of drives in my mates car, it's made me want one more than I originally did before. I want something that has more power on offer and is loud and lairy so that's why I'm looking to change.
Now got the 400 for the mundane and dirty stuff so the other car doesn't always have to be quite so practical.. Which is nice

I've taken some of the additions off in all honesty, trying to open up the interest to more parties.
Keep having someone offer £6k for it but I've had other interest and unfortunately if rather keep it than sell that cheap. I won't be sad if I have to keep it as it is a bloody good car but if rather have the STI if I can sell the 6.
I thought it may have gone by now for the money it's at, most people are messers though so just have to wait.
It's a shame that they are a very unique car but I knew that when I bought it so we shall see.

Cheers, it is ok for what it is
