Hey everyone

So this is the first time posting in anything like this... my MG ZT+ V6 auto has no power and takes an age to move off the line, it can get up to speed but holds 300 revs at 60-70mph.(like it won't find 5th/6th gear? The manifold problem I have seen on here with it rattling is present too. Also the throttle problem with the cable not been tight enough seems to be present. Please can some one help me get this beaut car up and running smooth and sounding like a beast it is... please. im in Wakefield ( west Yorkshire )

in a major stress with this nd really need the car running!

Thank you all

Yneed a health check on the car to see what if any codes are present. Contact BigRuss on here who has full Rover set up to check and advise what needs doing. His rates are very reasonable and from his diagnostics you will know for certain what needs to be done as opposed to guessing.

I have the same model and can vouch that a replacement non-rattling manifold coupled with a pair of Stocktake's VIS motors works wonders and will completely transform the car's performance.

Thanks Dave, yes if the OP would like to drop me a message we can arrange a suitable appointment and can see what's going on.
