Hi folks, ive got a dilema, i want to get my MG zs dti upto 60 mpg, (ave), at present im on 54 mpg, obviously im going for economy, mind you, it does kick when the turbo cuts in at 2k rpm, so i need to find anyone who fitted a secondary turbo to the exaust system, . The dilema im facing is that...

Hi stamford, yeah the lump is an L 2ltr, noisey top end but gives 54 mpg ave, i also need to replace the drive shafts & i think the inner shaft barings + both wheel barings. How many DTi's were build i dont know but mine was no:9998 off the line at Longbridge, thats rare in its self. The...

OK, firstly tracklayer get yourself some Autoglym Super Resin polish, 2ndly, to not get swirls start on the bonnet at the screen(top), polish down & up, down & up turning the cloth every 2 up & downs, plus dampen the cloth with water first, just enough so u can feel its a bit damp, appply polish...

Totoly agree with whats been said but,,,,i lived in thailand for 7yrs & its hot,,but Auto Glym Super Resin polish will NOT leave any polish marks & is very easy to remove. Also, how many people , & you know who you are, have after polishing the car have stood back & looked at the "swirl" marks...

Hi guys, ex-ade300 here, ive got to replace both drive shafts on my MG zs diesel turbo, now my problem may well be the g/box driveshaft barings, are they a taper fit or as is my luck pressins,& if so does that mean i have to take the g/box out & take it to an engineer.??????

Thanks yugguy, is XPOWER on the net and is that the name mate.

each fuel cell spins about willy nilly going to get burnd, but if you change the polarity you get smoother induction into the ignition chamber and a more (20%0 effisient use of the fuel. i wouldnt have kept it on the fuel line if it didnt work, try it, i bet you change your mind pgarner, + it...

Ive just attached a small but strong magnet to the "in" fuel line to the injector pump & i DOES make a diffarence, more power low down. Thats on a W reg ZS with 106k on the clock ( genuine). Any one else tried it yet ??

Yo Waynne, try doing the full clean by hand, not with a power jet washer, ( under bonnet only), you'll see more of any problems,ie,clips not secure, belts need ajusting,leeks,etc AND you'll polish the whole bay, if your anything like me...ex Marranelo ( ferrari uk) head valet.

just got a british racing green 2000 ZS TD ixl, wicked little car but getting slight bumps & whiring noise,- from i think the drive shafts,- any one got or had the same, & where do i get the parts for my little green beast.:D
