With all the stuff already there for higher powered turbo k's it'll be a doddle for tuning and building too!

Did they do anything with the cylinder head on the 6? It was one of the reasons I went for v6 and diesel in the zs.

Well the test drive went ok just some minor issues, A new tyre was fitted to the front but not balanced and kerbing to both front alloys. So they have agreed to refurb and balance both alloys then track the steering. Also 1yr mot 1 yr parts & labour warranty and 6 mth tax.

Stephen will become famous soon enough
Hello stranger !

I think it's a good move. I love blairs, it's a lovely car to drive.

I will shortly be getting a ZT 1.8T. Can't wait !

They did fix the head gasket issues of the k series engine and renamed it the n series.

The upgrading isn't simple though as they ecu is locked down tight and had taken years to try and overcome. They are almost there but have had plenty off issues and considered forgetting it.

Glad they didn't!

Good low mileage on that one though. For that age money though, is there not a TSE? I went to Peterborough for mine as they are cheaper down south.

Sounds like a happy owner then! To be fair, I also specifically wanted a Magnette hence the travel down south. Was worth it though, they are good cars and even better at the price.

Here's a good one! My insurers (AXA won't cover the MG6, Said it's too high a risk.
Hmmm I have 17yrs no claims. WTF
