ZT Parts

[Osh]

Hi Guys,

seriously considering buying a ZT or a ZT-T; how difficult is it to get parts these days and are they expensive compared to those for peer cars..??

I live in Bristol - does anyone know any good MG Garages that wont devour an arm and a leg to do the servicing work...??

Ta!

I've had a diesel ZT-T since July last year and found parts no problem (apart from a bonnet open switch, I haven't needed any.....better find some wood). There are various x-power dealers around the country, mostly ex MGR dealers who can still obtain parts. My local garage did a service on mine just before Christmas and have no problem in locating them. There's also Rimmers who are very good with a more or less next day delivery. There is an x power dealer locating website around that should tell you where your nearest dealer/service agent is, plus there's also the MG Rover forums and x power forums for help, both extremely useful. Body parts may be a different matter though but usually just a case of being patient if you're unlucky enough to damage the car. Mine's just come back from the body shop with a new front wing and repaired door after being hit by somebody, looks like new. They are great cars, you won't regret buying one.

Evening Timbo - had four ZT's in total; my best m8 used to work for MG Rover and had all of mine on their Friends & Family deal. For me they were one of the best cars on the market when they were out....bloody brilliant!

Thanks for your reply m8

That would appear to be the link for finding your nearest dealer, 3 in the Bristol area.

There's the ex-main dealer in Brislington for parts and I get mine serviced by PJG Autos in Longwell Green. He's an indi who specialises in aircon and Jags but has doen sterling work on my ZTT.

Go with Bills recommendation.
I used to use http://www.mjnmotors.co.uk/ on my tf. Fixed a hgf for a not insignificant £700 only for it to go again 6 weeks later. Wouldn't accept any responsibility, didn't use one of the uprated gaskets despite being told to and cue another £700 repair and hasty autotrader ad.
