ZS
looking inside the engine bay on the mg zs with the kv6 2.5 engine installed i noticed the position of the coolant reservoir bottle. in the opposite corner at the bulkhead of the car. a different design and capacity. also much higher than the original . it looks like it holds a lot more coolant and probably does not have to be lifted when the coolant refill proceedure is followed. i dont know how or where the hoses to the bottle are routed but it looks a better idea than the R40 set up. maybe it even has a low coolant level sensor as well !! having not had a ZS or seen under the bonnet with the KV6 fitted i thought why or when was it changed . the air box looks different but where it sits in the ZS cant leave much space for the clutch assemblies. its got me thinking ..

The MG7 also has a larger coolant bottle and is fitted to the firewall.

The air box goes straight down leaving lots of room, I can even see the clutch lever! Hope you noticed that unlike the 75 there's room to access the rear spark plugs Regards |

Yes the Same header tank fits all Rover 45's Looks like it was modified to include a sensor with the face lift. Text below probably answers the question https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-PCF000181 Product Description This is the expansion tank that was fitted as standard to facelift models (from VIN 5D637209) which had a coolant level sensor fitted. Pre facelift models did not have a sensor fitted but this tank is now used for all applications. The sensor (PCJ000050) is not included with the tank and is no longer available.
