MG ZT CDTi 135+ remapped to 165bhp
Gentlemen,
I'm sure a few of you will know I'm selling the diesel pretty soon after having bought it, as I want to return to the MG fold with a Petrol engine once again (my previous car was a 260SE!) So the car is a 2003 03 diesel with 66k on the clock. It's in trophy blue. FSH, service due in 2k miles. 4 Michelin Pilot sports tyres - around 4mm tread left. 6 MOT 1 months tax Tuned by Chip tuning uk to 165bhp (costing £495) Very good condition - interior is immaculate. Please send PM if interested Cheers Steve |

Steve,
Theres a nice monogram typhoon coloured ZT-T 190+ (with satnav) with 62k miles, 2004/53 for sale if this would be a good swap? Its up for £6,799. Or are you set on a 260 again? |

Not too sure what I'll replace her with - 190 is a possibility.
Where is the typhoon ZT-T advertised? Steve |

Its in London - at CarGiant, a car supermarket. Seems to have keen pricing, so I guess there`d be no/little room for haggling. Also you`d have to check the condition carefuly...
If you can choose between a 190/260, I`d go for the 260. Loads more fun, and from what i gather the fuel economy isnt necessarily that much worse. I`m hoping to swap my 190 for a 260 at some stage |

I know the 260 is special, but then the 190 is the all-round well sorted car I guess. I would also be LPG'ing the ZT, so a 260 doesn't return that great an MPG even on gas - around 30mpg.

Now if yours was an estate I could swap you my ZTT as I can't justify keeping the ZTT 190 and the 260

Tease! How many miles on the ZT-T Keith? How you getting on with the 260?!
I need to get 6 months TAX for the CDTi and probably a service - expenditure I could do without. But it will go back on e-bay in the new year for it's rightful price, so those after a real bargain need to be quick! Cheers Steve |

60 odd K or thereabouts
My 190 is a good one, I spent a fair while looking for one with all the toys on it whereas with the V8 I simply bought the cheapest I could find I will probably put it up for sale in the New year once I get my private plate moved to the V8 then I might buy a small hatchback for swmbo to use on the school runs plus we will still need a dog transporter for the spotty dog as I just don't like getting the 190 dirty inside, so she is banned on wet days! What I really should have done is buy a 75 CDT Cons SE estate in the first place! |

The paint flip on the photo's I've seen of your car seem quite spectacular and dramatic. In my opinion the degree of flip does vary from car to car - whether this is actually true or not?....... For example - look at the typhoon 190 estate on Car Giant's website - I know it depends on light conditions etc, but still!

I have had many bad experiences with CarGiant over the years, and have also found that the Rover/MG stocks they have these days are usually in a pretty sorry state.
