Forward ends of the chassis legs in the engine bay, be wary of any bubbled paintwork around the seams in this area, they may turn into holes.

Cheers pete, the o/s leg gets a fine oily coating from catch tank so hoping it will be good. Will pay close attention though. Thanks!

also heard that the top of the fuel tank can suffer!!!

I unloaded about half a litre of wax onto the top of the tank, hopefully it will make it last a bit longer.

or cave in. :-)

Only joking!!

The top of the original tank from my ZS is rusty but all surface rust and generally isn't too bad. I was told that they mainly go round the seam, I can't remember whit told me this but it was a garage done about Motherwell....narrows it down lol. A rover 400 tank could be a good bet, they are very well protected all over.

Mine passed wednesday with the strictest tester in the west of scotland

Excellent Ritchy, has done well your ZS although pretty sure the owner is big part. Will be a good buy when you do eventually sell her to take on jap reliability full time

[Ritchy]

The guy who works on the next ramp to me wants to take it, so shall still see it about!

Got a sports cat put on the car in place of the decat pipe and the car passed its MoT with no advisories - the mechanic commented that the underside had been thoroughly 'undersealed' and the car was in excellent condition, so a big thumbs up to the previous owner 'Captain Slow'

Currently loving the MG!
