Default Bought an MGZT

Picked up my MGZT 180 Tourer today - my my, what a difference to the 75 CDTI saloon !! She's very noisy but I quite like it! Very pleased indeed... What's that switch next to the gearstick with S and E on it??

S = Sports (holds the gears longer (and gets very thirsty)
E = Economy, which it will default to each time you turn her on, even if you were on sport before.
Snowflake is for slippery conditions (usually winter) - sets off in 2nd rather than first to save wheelspin.

Slight oil leak from this pipe at the front driver underside - could be leaking from the pipe or above it. Any ideas?

Have a look at the bottom of the power steering reservoir, one of the crimped on clips can be a little weak and cause a leak, replace the clip with a jubilee clip and it should cure the issue.

They must have had a limp wristed crimper at the factory as all our 75's have suffered from that issue

Post Bucket Seats

Billy

They are often referred to as marmite seats, I'm told.

Personally, I prefer the tourer seats with fantastic lower lumber support
