MG ZR: Cams & Maps

[lolsteve]

Nothing wrong with Rover the engineers were smart just the company was run by idiots

yeah and cheap parts. like the headgasket...if they just used decent gaskets on the inlet and head, they wouldnt have a bad rep!

Cheap parts yes for the most part. but the hg was new technology not cheap and meant to be an improvment on the then current gaskets but like the way of asbestos this was not the case

Your rad will have antifreeze crystals on the back no doubt. Standard radiators were absolute dog-turd quality, i've replaced them on every Rover i've owned. (220, both 214s, my ex's 214 and her VVC coupe too). I'd wager this is the cause of your disappearing coolant, or potentially a loose jubilee.

By 10 years old they're just shagged, whereas that alloy rads that Peugeot use are a god-send - mine is immaculate after 12 years and 256K.

I'll check that out so are those eBay ones alright then to replace the current one with? Might as well change inlet gasket too.while I'm at it
