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!

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,

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

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.

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

I have to say i am gobsmacked that you are breaking the car for HGF - after stating you dont have the time to fix it.

I know a few hundred quid is not easy to stomch if things are tight - but surely it is better to keep cars alive than breaking them. the rate at which people are going to break the ZS and ZR means we will run out of them that much sooner

Why is everyone scrapping their cars when HGF is a fairly easy fix? I know you get more for the car if you break it.. but eventually there won't be any left!
