Re: WTB: MGZR TD
i bought a zr td 115 last november--in the expectation of lower fuel costs compared to my zs 180. i get about 45 mpg--but longest run i do is about 10 miles. its got a real kick of acceleration from 3-4000 rpm.
surprisingly--the insurance was higher than the zs 180.

classic car insurance companies usually require you have another car as your main user.

Re: MGF POSSIBLE CVT Steptronic stepspeed ISSUIE
my 02 plate ZR steppy made all sorts of whines and rattles and tinckles..after a few weeks of worrying i had bought a lemon--i just ignored it and got on with life. it never failed or let me down. i figured --if it did pack up--then the car was scrap. not worth fixing. i sold it--4 years ago for abo...

Re: It's gone!
It's not the age but how you feel that counts! I'm 74 and have just bought my first F, a 2000 Wedgwood SE. Quite a nice car but, and I hate to say it, it doesn't drive as nicely as my 1987 Reliant SS1 1600, which I'm taking off the road for some major work. My Daughter-in-law calls me the "Geriatri...

Re: Stepspeed issues.
i had a zr steppy 4 years ago--loved it. just move the "gearstick" to the right--then change up and down sequentially. if i remember--sport shows up on the bottom of the speedo--and the gear your in. the system wont let you change up or down if it will cause a problem--over revving or labouring.

Re: MGF trophy spoiler on a TF
if anyone has fitted a trophy spoiler to a TF bootlid--would they be willing to take measurements for the holes to be drilled--and any photos would be appreciated--especially of the underside of the boot lid. i'm hoping to avoid hitting any metal reinforcements.
