Had my ZT180 Sport cambelt replaced last week, plus a coolant change. All carried out by MG Rover NZ in Avondale, Auckland -
www.mgrovernz.co.nz. They provided an excellent service - courtesy car, reliable bookings etc. Can't see where they've been. All shipshape.
I provided the parts (assembled over several years, such as fluids, waterpump, tensioner, belts and idler) although they would not have had any problem providing these.
The car was first registered in late 2004 but built late 2002. Has covered 68k kms, around 20% City, remainder longish trips. The old belts, tensioner and water pump looked like new when removed. Improved peace of mind though.
Car since new apart from tyres, filters, fluids, batteries has blown one stop light bulb and required the dreaded orange clip on the fuel pump.
I have one of Kaisers thermostat housing replacement but have not needed to use it.The good maintenance record may be helped by the fact that our speed limit on the open road is 100kph plus a bit.
Looking forward to the next twelve years, after which I will probably not require it.
Cheers all
Barry
