MG ZT CDTI+ 2003 X Power Grey **SOLD**

savvy · 24th December 2010, 09:08

Sooner than expected, I'm selling my lovely ZT as my company car is due to arrive beginning of January.

2003 "53" MG ZT
CDTI+ 131PS
4 x Electric Windows
Electric Sunroof
Climate Control (A/C is icy cold!)
6CD Kenwood Changer
IPK Computer (MPG, Average Speed, Speed limiter and Range - display is 100% no funny lines etc)
Monaco Interior (half leather/half grey cloth)
Reversing Sensors
122,000 miles - no history unfortunately but please don't let that put you off
X Power Grey
18 inch hairpin alloys - refurbished in July
RE050 Potenza with good tread all round, cost me £600 in June
Tax until end of June 2011
MOT - this runs out Feb 11, but the car is going to Corin for MOT next week
New clutch beginning of the year (done by previous owner who is ItalianStallion on the forum)
New Front Suspension (springs and struts) in July
New front Drop links
New rear ARB Bushes
New MAF
New diesel pumps (under bonnet and in tank) fitted by Corin
EGR Removed
Resister for fan has been upgraded (common to go on these)
New front mintex pads and discs
New 75/ZT shaped carpet mats (cost me £50!)
Chrome Bullet Mirrors
Xenon Headlights
LED Side Lights
LED Interior Lights
LED Number plate lights
Two working keys!

This car was looked over before I bought it by two well established forum members who gave it a clean bill of health. (BigRuss and Stocktake).

It's since been looked after by Corin on here. It's been serviced by him (another not due for 5k miles) and he also fitted the xenons and chrome bullets for me.

As I said, he'll be MOT'ing it next week and doing a pre MOT check. I believe it needs new front bushes (steering or suspension) which I'll do (or Corin will!).
The Handbrake needs adjusting, again, this will be done too.

I'm currently just putting a notice up to let people know it's for sale, being Christmas and the fact my replacement doesn't arrive until Jan 11th, I know it won't sell for the time being.

The car has served me extremely well in the past year. I do 120 miles a day (all motorway) and the car as a whole is extremely well behaved.
It feels nice a tight even at this mileage, which isn't really high for one of these cars.

Cosmetically the car is beautiful. Once cleaned it has a real deep grey shine to it. Has a few stones chips on the front, nothing terrible.
Inside is almost like a new car. The only thing to remark is the usual wear to the drivers bolster, but it's nothing major.

So where are the pictures you ask? Well, I'm ashamed to say the car is so dirty right now given the current weather etc and miles I do, I need to get her valeted. I'm going to do this today and then post some pictures up.

I have this photo from when the wheels were referb'd earlier this year:

It has a private plate on it, which will be coming off any day now (went to the DVLA office yesterday). It should return to the plate in the photo.

It also has a synergy, which will be sold separately (or if you want to keep it we can come to an arrangement).

We are a family of 75/ZT owners, my father has 3 75's and a ZT-T and my brother in law has a V8 75 (all on this forum too!) - so we certainly love our MG Rovers!

Please PM me if I've forgotten anything or you have any questions.

Chris

Looking for £3200 (with tax and synergy).

Thanks Thomas - car was sold to a friend of mine, who I'm sure will be on the forum in due course!

Have to ask Chris......What is replacing her?
Very good of you to do all that work only to benefit the next owner

I ordered a company car due to doing 30k miles a year. MG is very capable but each mot and service was just getting on the expensive side with having to replace bits here and there. Also due to the miles I needed something even more economical!

On Tuesday I receive a 118d BMW. I'll post some pics up when she arrives!
