Avoid. Title: Car Buffs (MG Content) Post by: McLovin on Monday, February 25, 2008, 13:56:35 My little one (ZR) was fine. I've heard that head gaskets can be a problem, but other than that there's nowt wrong with 'em.
Title: Car Buffs (MG Content) Post by: Colin Todd on Monday, February 25, 2008, 13:58:09 Rover went out of business for a reason. Their cars were shit.
That is all. Title: Car Buffs (MG Content) Post by: Samdy Gray on Monday, February 25, 2008, 13:59:03 :goodpost:
Title: Car Buffs (MG Content) Post by: tans on Monday, February 25, 2008, 14:25:21 My dad had a ZR when they first came out. Head gasket went when the bloke was driving down the M40 to deliver it to him. Got fixed then the fucker went again.
Title: Car Buffs (MG Content) Post by: Ralphy on Monday, February 25, 2008, 21:37:04 The MG ZR looked like grandad had driven his Rover 200/25 series into Halfords, 'boyed it up' and then driven away again.
The engines were notorious for fucking up, much like Peugeot and Citroens are for dodgy electrics and head gaskets.
