2003 MG ZR 105 review from UK and Ireland
"Great road handling, looks"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Plastic strips under front of driver and passenger seats fell off.
Usual rattles in door panels.
Door mirrors move out of position regularly.
Just last week, the alternator cable shredded into strips, worked it's way into timing belt housing, wrapping around belt and drive cogs, resulting in the car breaking down.
Hefty repair bill, as all piston rods bent, cylinder head cracked, etc.
In garage at present getting repaired.
General comments?
I have enjoyed my MG ZR 105 since I purchased it second hand three years ago.
Never had a problem with it, until now.
Only ever needed a wiper blade for driver and passenger sides during last two services from new, so has been very reliable.
Great handling, and looks, but will trade car in this summer.
