i think the 180 is a 190. same engine but its difference is being a 190 engine but with an automatic box with adjusted autobox control unit mapping. tooling is the same as is used on the 190. for camshaft timing. not at all sure about the e.c.u mapping but definitely uses the 190 camshafts. ... i think the instruction references are towards engines rather than car models....

Hi Colin,

My photocopied Sealey VS1290 instructions say this:

1.2 Applications
45, 75, MG ZS (180), MG ZT/ZT-T (160/180) ...
For MG ZT/ZT-T (190) models ... adaptor set is additionally required ...

That clearly states that the standard 2.5 litre horseshoes are to be used with the MG ZT/ZT-T 180 which is incorrect.
