eBay tat volume 3.

I remember that car. Used to see it around here all the time and it always looked quite tidy but then it disappeared. I always wondered what happened to it so I'm surprised they've still got it but sad to see the state it's in now.

Basically, the K-series was much better built for use in the Land Rover Freelander than it was in MG-Rover products. The MGCC Garage therefore retrofits the more durable Land Rover parts to MG-Rover cars.

 

Oh aye, that's a new one

 

 

In 2011 it had been to the MG Car Club for the 'fix' to the perennial problem with the Rover K-Series engine: the head gasket.

 

The car was 100% reliable until last July, when it developed a misfire immediately before it was due for its annual service and MOT. This misfire was traced to a failing head gasket. 
 
When I called the MGCC Garage they looked up the car and recognised it, saying that it was one of the first ZTs that they upgraded. What they did not know at the time that they fixed this car was that, after fitting the Land Rover parts, a four-thou shim was needed on the cylinder liners to true them up. The lack of the shim is what had caused the head gasket issue.
 
The work done by the MGCC was out of warranty

Like the car. Advertiser comes across as a bit of a plonker though. Dreaming of turning it into a drift weapon with the xenon's?

 

Seen this before I thought:-

If you find a scratch the seller will take £100 off, which is lucky as it does seem a tad overpriced.

Does look very clean to be fair, and even comes with two tax disc holders for some reason

This seems to be from one of those years (1898-present day) where the Sceptics had absolutely no taste whatsoever

I think these Escort estates are the finest looking of the range.

 

it's got a serious hotted up x-flow, which probably still makes about the same power as the 1.4 engine in my Panda.

'relisted due to a typical ebay time waster who won auction and then didn't communicate or pay. (what a t... p..)' 

 

 

Thespis? Either way, it's a tragedy.
