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.

The 6 is a very respectable car. I usually get 'MG still make cars?' or 'I thought that was a beemer' so it's never had negative comments lol.

It's comfortable too and I have the magnette so good boot space just a small opening. It will look racier soon though when the warranty expires!

Yes that's Jim's hatch! but the pics from Ingliston. Easy mistake we did a few that year. lol

I'm not very familiar with the models yet, Is magnette saloon? Im looking at the hatch model. It's a lot of car for the money in my opinion.

Magnette is the saloon - GT is the hatch.

I had a hatch and from a practicality point of view although it may be better than the saloon slightly, the lip to load is high.

Think the saloon's a better looker to be honest but value for money wise - as said - not a lot out there better for the money.

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.

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 !

Hi Stephen
Yes I think so! at the money it's a steal.

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.

It has everything I need then some! And was on my door step. The mondeo sat next to it same year, colour, more miles, 4 thousand more.

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
