im thinking about getting another car as my daily driver and keeping the van away safe. want to try out an MG ZS as they are really coming down in price and im about to go on lots of courses for work all over the place. would be nice to travel with some comfort. my friend has just got one, i sat in it and it was quite nice. just wondering if anyone has had any good/bad experiences with them? i know they have a k-series engine which are buggers if the head gasket fails because the head tends to warp being an made from an ally metal. also the studs go all the way through the engine to the crank caps.

Awesome, are you after the 180 or just like a 1.6/8 with the 180 kit?

The KV6 is a great engine, very nice!

Try to get one with the extreme spoiler on already, as they go for big money on their own, and dont half look as good without them!

depends on the insurance quote, if i can afford the 180 so be it although it will drink far more juice. maybe i should stick with a 120 if i do. cant believe how cheap they are now. maybe because people think Rover=doom!

Thats it really, but parts are so easy to get hold of..

I did a R25 > ZR earlier this year and it only took 3 months from start to finish.. parts certainly arent rare.
