Sad Times = Breaking MGZS

AceFactor · 23-01-12, 09:06 PM

It has come to a sad time when I am having to break my MG ZS 1.8 120 - its the early signs of head gasket failure, and neither time nor funds allow me to keep her.

I am breaking anything and everthing pretty much. The spec is below, and the car is based in Ipswich, Suffolk. I'm happy to post bits if required, and I have loads of other MG/ROver spares knocking around, so if you need something specific please ask!

MG ZS 1.8 120 - Petrol

60kish miles on the clock

Original Head Gasket

PBT (Pearl Black) Paint Code - Pearlesceant Paint

Air-Con

Sunroof

Manual Gearbox

4x Straights 17" alloys, with good tread on tyres

4x Straights 17" alloys, need tyres

2x full sets of centre caps - metal & plastic

Centre Cap Removal Tool

Continental Spare Tyre (Emergency Tyre) - doesnt look like its ever been used.

Full tool kit in polosyrene mould.

New Maniverter

K&N Panel Filter - with Cleaning Kit

Half Leather Interior - Black and Grey

Carbon Fibre Gear Knob

180 Front splitter

180 Side Skirts

I've attached some pictures below, however the car is dirty in the pictures. The only damage I am aware about on the car is the photo's for you.

Please feel free to text me on 07702 480467, request via this thread, or by PM.

Also for those who don't know me very well, I have had many dealings of eBay, themgzr.co.uk, and I know a few members in my local area.

Many Thanks,

Adam

£50 or so on parts, 3 or 4 hours - head gasket fixed - less time than breaking a car.

bit optimistic, only way to do a k is to do it properly, probably £100-£200 would be about the right amount to spend on parts

manivertor is just the exhaust manifold but it has the pre-cat in it too

If you do end up breaking it I'd be interested to see how much you want for the K&N filter and a set of straights.

Do agree that you could probably get it fixed for very little seeing as you've caught it early.

I'd be looking for £25ish for K&N filter - which would include the Recharger Cleaning Kit for you aswell.

I'd probably beelooking for £180ish for the Straights with the tyres also depending on which centre caps you wanted.

But I could probably do a deal for £200ish (give or take a little for p&p)

Have had to divert some funds towards the wife's car so will have to hold fire on the wheels. However, if you would take £20 for the filter I'll have it.

Sorry to hear about the fund diversion. Meet me at £23 for the filter and cleaner kit, as the cleaning kit itself is reasonably heavy, and will be a few quid to post.

Sounds like a plan, PM your details and I'll get some funds sent over ASAP. If the work bonus comes good I may be interested in the wheels if they are still available in a few weeks.
