You will be hard pushed to find the wealth of knowledge we have here for other makes of car. This place is the best for all kinds of info.

there can't be much moaning on the jag forum because nobody posts or replies for days, that's why as an ex mg zt owner i still come on here everyday. definitely the best and friendliest forum going.

The stock faults on the 75 & ZT are relatively minor and easily fixed. BMW forums seem full of problems with the cam chain snapping and writing off the engine.

I am new to Rovers as manly had Fords, but I read this site every day, much to the other halfs question, why!. People are always helping each other, a bit of banter and always things that could be done to your own car, so I think this is a good site and with one meet under my belt and with luck with work I could get to some more.

Well we pick up our 02 laguna mot failure tomorrow and i've been scouring their forum and have asked a couple of what would be standard questions on here something i'd expect an answer to in about 15-30mins really.

On there...............Nada.......Nothing.......Zilch

27 views and not one response..Also found someone elses post from 2011 asking a similar standard thing and he got fa as well

This is defo a top site for help & assistance, Humour isn't bad sometimes either

We do kind of take it all for granted. One of my friends had a SMART car which was written off after the engine ignited - ouch!!

Give me a wave if you see my Silver ZT around

TBH The V6 in our current circumstances just doesn't make sense, so it'll be offered here I think, I'm still undecided whether to let it go complete as a project dealer launch car or nick the highline out of it for the CDT. I think there's too many bits & bobs to make it saveable but someone else might think otherwise for a dealer launch I dunno..

We'll be keeping one 75 at least, we haven't given up yet

But an 02 Laguna II 2.0 16v estate with 40k gen miles, almost all trimmings for £340... well I couldn't refuse really even if I fix it and out it later coz it's poo..(might not be, my 19 16valve was great)..
