Kiltox Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 I am seriously tempted by the cheapest MG6 in the country sold out of some bomb site car lot https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201912075129462?atmobcid=soc3 Anyone fancy having a look for me?

Kiltox Posted December 7, 2019 Author Share Posted December 7, 2019 Works fine for me and I took it straight from the “MG6 under £3k” thread in the modern section, how odd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxi paul Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Really nice looking cars for the money these. How bad can they be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bezzabsa Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 for that price it's almost a no brainer!!! Better looking interior than I imagined...bonnet looks to have bits of road rash - but otherwise tidy Not too sure about the Belts done statement!!! 115,000 so not stupid miles... Go for it!!!

chaseracer Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 A 7yo motor for less than a bag? FARK. GIB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiltox Posted December 7, 2019 Author Share Posted December 7, 2019 I don’t think I have the time to view and collect this side of Christmas - but if a shiter was able to check it out and stash/borrow it for a few weeks should it be a go-er......

LabRat Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 I'm over in Oldham, but might be able to go and cast an eye over it next Saturday for you if no one else can. Can't store it though unfortunately. The belt is a 7 year/80k job and servicing is every 15k. There is a throttle remap offered by the dealers that makes the pick up slightly less aggressive and the last shat nav was 2014. Look out for rattling trim (cupholders and parcel shelf are TADTS) and make sure it pulls clean through the revs. Blocked plenum drains can have the ECU swimming, so make sure it's clear too. Handbrakes are the same as a 75/zt so not too sparkling either unless adjusted up. If it's been stood for a while, the traction control warnings might light up, but should clear once the engine has run for a bit. A strong battery is a must or the ECUs get upset.

Kiltox Posted December 7, 2019 Author Share Posted December 7, 2019 I’m working all next week then in Scotland 14-23 Dec working on my new property If you were able to check it out I could maybe sort out some kind of storage arrangement with the seller mind ?

LabRat Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 So long as I don't get any call outs for work (the many joys of being a school caretaker!!) I should be able to get over and have a closer look at it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaac Hunt Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Clucking Bell, values are falling faster than shares in Gerald Ranters Jewellery Empire. For less than a Bag, get in there boy, this gotta be a forum bike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busmansholiday Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 AutoTrader says I live 12 miles away, which even if I wasn't currently in a different time zone to the UK would be bollocks. Be over a week sadly before I could get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maurice Marina Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 I don’t live that far away. Could check it out Monday. Can’t store unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skut Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 The MG6 faceache page is worth joining for info and a laugh. At least this a petrol K series (TCi Tech) and not the diesel. The UK only diesel seems to suffer many issues including abysmal parts availability and the reliability you might expect of an adapted boat & forklift motor. Yunnei Kunming diesel if your interested. The petrol seems to suffer from variable idle quality. All seem to suffer from endless sensor faults, random electronic warnings, weak gearboxes based on an 80s Toyota design that weren't always properly filled with oil from the factory. Also talk of hard to fix alignment problems, suspension wear, steering issues, door handles not working, trim coming adrift, rust, hopeless dealers etc. Oh and they are frequently referred to as 'not liking winter'. Get it bought. Skizzer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiltox Posted December 8, 2019 Author Share Posted December 8, 2019 Sounds GR9. I wonder if I could put the engine in my Rover 216 cab and properly offend people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
