I like it.

My car, with a fuel leak, and being driven fairly hard, and with more mods than you shake a stick at, got 44 MPG on the last brim-to-brim I did. 42 MPG on the 3 tanks before (and thats with a fuel leak so worst case scenario!).

I wish I could afford to drive 4 tanks if fuel with it leaking out!

Yep, fantastic economy.

I have been on this forum but not used it for a while as I did not have a rover 75 or a mg ztt but I have just purchased a mg ztt diesel and I have a few questions

firstly what is the between the diesel engines in the 75 and the zt/ztt
are the webasto diesel heater remotes available.
are the red alcantara seat covers available as mine are badly worn

many thanks

The diesel engine used in the 75 is the same as used in the ZT.

Have a read of this for Wbasto remote.

Maybe the best course with the worn seat cover is to look out for a complete replacement seat. They come up on here and Ebay sometimes.

I wish I could, either

Anyone want to fix it for me...?

>>>I hope you have a dyno print out for that power because most remap claims are a flat out lie.<<<

Bearing in mind the BHP loss on RR (dyno's) is variable and adjustable by the operator, they are almost certainly "loaded" in the owners favour, nothing like keeping the customers happy innit...

I believe the remaps available on the diesels also effect the auto gearbox where fitted, it certainly altered mine.

The limited power-rev range is also a myth, plant your foot at 100 mph (in top gear) in a remapped diesel and it will take off again.. . My car starts to struggle at about 4,200 rpm.. But in top that's about 125 mph and entering the red zone.. At that point the V6's will outrun a diesel....

Not as much as you think I suspect.

When you say the seat covers are worn, do you mean they have rips in or do you mean that the red bit is all bobbly? If the latter, then give the seats a good shave with a bic razor, seriously I brings them up like new, do a search on here. Very easy and effective.

Christian, both pab and the OP were asking about the 2.0 V6 petrol, NOT the 2.0 diesel!

There's absolutely no way a 2.0 V6 will do late 40's mpg, unless it's being towed with the engine turned off!
