My MG ZT 2.0 CDTI 135 bhp 2004 Facelift

Guardian50 · 11th July 2012, 16:17

Well I am a new club member and new owner of an MG, Only had my car a couple of months. Massive thank you to this great site and the helpful folks here. This forum actually reassured me when I found my car, I checked everything I could here and bought it and am so pleased I did. I am chuffed to bits with my Rover MG, so comfortable and so easy to drive, a real cruiser, and so much more economical than my old Petrol 3 litre BMW The car has been a joy to work on, as you can tell so far I'm a happy MG owner. Here are a few pics of my new motor.

Lovely looking ZT

We too love our diesel ZT-T, such a lovely car to drive. Like you, I'm slowly going through the car doing all the important jobs which without this site, I would have had no idea about.

We've had ours for 3 months now and so far I feel we made the right choice over all the other, (lesser), diesel estates.

Thanks guys, for your comments, so far all the little niggles have been easily sorted, just working my way around car to get it as tidy as possible, I have to replace both front door B pillar black trim panels, as they are starting to rust and I want to keep the car as rust free as possible, it came with a years MOT with just one advisory of corrosion on rear brake pipes, so will be tackling them as soon as we have a rain free day! Oh and another fault I found is that O/s rear door locks fine with remote central locking, but doesn't open, must be a switch behind door trim, will investigate when time allows.

Just replaced both passenger and drivers side B pillar, door trim outer black panels, luckily found a 2002 Rover 75 in local scrap yard, straightforward swap over! Thanks again to this site and the excellent how to guides.

Great colour, you can be very proud of that.

I have added a few more Pictures.

Really starting to enjoy the car now, just a few little jobs left to do, and this ZT will be cruising around for quite a while to come, thoroughly enjoy working on her. Yes I have spent hours cleaning under the bonnet, there are no leaks anywhere, really pleased with my purchase.
