MG ZT 2.5 V6
« on: 04 August 2011, 18:09:28 »
Right guys, should have one of these coming tomorrow on an 04 Plate, it's the baby 2.5 the 160, getting it for a stupidly low price, what do I need to look out for, cambelt history, headgasket, clutch, gearbox. Anything else?

Cambelts, I think they have 4 belts!? or was it two? Still think book says 8 hour job, so worth seeing if that is done.

Cambelt replacement is a right mare on the kv6, as tunnie says it's a days work to change all the belts

I think that used to be it but I believe that like the migs it got altered as belt failures were occurring before due time

Something about the fans/air con rings a bell, requires chopping in through the casing to repair for some reason :-/

Have a shufty at the MG-Rover.org forum. Full of useful info.  :y

The 2.5 V6 are a lot of car for the money. Often sold cheaply when the time comes to change the belts.

Main dealers (X-part) charge a fortune (£600-800+) and independants often decline to do the work!!  :o

Of the 2.5's there are three different variants a 160 BHP, a 180 BHP Auto and the 190, unfortunately I didn't go and have a look today as I've got major problems with my van at the minute  :-/
