Yes it is.

As the chief workshop man said "The R75 is a lovely car... until something goes wrong... then she's a "female dog" to fix!" He went on to say that the only R75/MG's they see are those that no other garage can fix. Hence the two coming from London on Monday. (He already has two others waiting to be fixed with a similar problem, or so it seems).

At least he believes that they are heading toward the light at the end of the tunnel. I said "Let's hope it's not an on-coming train!"

One thing he did say was that the ECU breaking down could cause a "cascade" effect through the systems of the car... I have no cause to doubt him, as he seems quite genuine on the 'phone, but is this possible? Or, compared to the number of 75's on the road versus the number of owners on the forum, is this is as rare a fault as it seems??

Nothing else was damaged at all.
T4 and off it went so to speak.

Met a chap with an 03 ZT T today, looking over the car (yes... I miss mine so much) And to MY horror both his Plenum drains were clogged with leaves!!

And such an easy task to keep clean............

Anyway, back on thread..... I faxed the garage last night and told them that yours was available, so I'll see what they say on Monday /Tuesday/ Wednesday......................................... ................?

At 08.30hrs Sunday- Week 7 begins.......................

Thanks for your thoughts..... I hope to get her back soon. I've not lost my faith in this being the right car for me. I spent weeks researching the car I was going to buy. And, finally settled on the R75. Being a Tourer was a bonus. I had 10 months of trouble free driving until this problem. I just hope that it is a one-off.

I know that I have a few more things to do to get her exactly the way I want her. Some of these are sitting in the kitchen waiting for her return:lol:
