MG ZT 260 V8 Enthusiast

31/10/2023

This is not a V8 either but the ZT is a rare car all together in this country. Only 45 sold and not even half are left and even fewer are on the road. This came up as spares or repairs and I jumped right on it. It is a good example even though it needs a bit of work as you would expect from a 21 year old car! 🏁🇬🇧

Being nearly finished with my 75 and still having a sick ZT-T I naturally needed to get another one 😁 #2002 ...

It is not related to the V8 cars I know! But I have started making a series of detailed videos on how to replace the head gasket on a 1.8 K series. These will not be made for impatient people who like cut the bu****it and get to the point videos. These will be the real life (reality served) type of videos especially for new beginners who needs to be aware of all details involved in such job. And especially on these engines! I have to warn you about lots of transportation issues 🙈Hope you find these videos helpful. More to come later and here’s the first two!

Detailed step by step videos (more to come) on how you can replace the head gasket on your Rover 75 1.8 both with and without turbo charger. ...

I can absolutely recommend these Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 tires for a ZT. Nice handling dynamics yet refined at motorway cruising 👍👌

New member to the fleet! Just couldn’t let her end up in the scrap yard! Failed mot and a rather severe water ingress in the boot and rear seat as she sat outside for 11 months with her nose pointing slightly downwards! Now she will get a lot of work done to be preserved! 2005. 75 1.8na connoisseur auto❤️

The purists might not like this but I like to see what possibilities are available with slight re-engineering! So I bought these Orange Koni STR.T dampers for BMW E46 Touring and had the bottom sleeves drilled from 12 to 14 mm and they now fits my ZTT like a glove and the car sits totally correct🧡👌These are entry level performance dampers and not the most hard core ones but that’s how i like it! I’m currently waiting for New front dampers from Rimmer in specification QJ/PD Brown/Brown to see how they work together before I eventually check the possibilities of re-engineering Orange BMW Koni’s for the front as well! Thoughts?
