I use my mk2b Punto for the daily drudgery (about 10 miles round trip) and the ZS for nights or weekends fun

I use my Twilight ZS for getting to and from work - only around 5 miles each way - and for the bank run, dropping heads and customers off.

The LMG ZS180 that I had before I used to get to work in Hertfordshire. Around 85 miles each way, which is why I clocked up over 144,000 miles in under 4 years.

Blimey Ralph, just think of all that fuel money you have spent! Doesn't bear thinking about!

I know I could contact our sister site with MGZR stuff, but just wondering what the MGZR diesel was like. Is it a BMW 2ltr diesel plant????

May consider one for commute

Thanks

I use mine every day and its only about a 5 mile round trip but I even get guys wanting to pick them up in the morning so as they can get a ride in it as well!!

Craig.......superb signature and a fitting tribute to a legend....The Colin Macrae Forest Stages rally is due up here next weekend and I believe is still to be held as a tribute to the great man.

Thanks Shafz.

Why the hell would u do that. the L series is just as good if not better than the BM W**KERS engine. They are good for 200 bhp with a few mods.

Oh and i do 500+miles a week in mine to work and back.

Have read up a bit more on the ZR diesel & indeed saw one parked in our company carpark @ LHR. Had a word with the chap who owned it (owner for 6 months) & has nothing but praise for it.
Also, gave him the www for the mgzr site, which he was very happy with.
So the L series unit is back on the list!!!!.......my aplogies al_rover
