Nah, it will be a bit more than that when it's sold soon!

Ti Rich

How about a nice derv ZT that's almost as quick as a 190?????

Ti Rich

ZT 190's KV6 don't suffer head gasket problems, it was only the Rover 800 KV6 engines that had a problem, the ZT version was reseigned and is very good. VIS valve problems can be fixed more cheaply now, so not Â£650 if you know where to go. If they fail the car still drives OK, just feels a bit down...

Ti Rich

Expect 25-30 max out of the 190 and 40-45 out of the CDTi.

A tuned CDTi is the way to go my friend - 170 BHP, 300lbft and still 44MPG - now that's having your cake and eat it!!!

190's suffer from VIS valve problems and CDT cqan suffer from fuel pump/MAF issues but both are very reliable in general.

Ti Rich

I think a ZT CDTi whould be a more appropriate replacement for the Vitty!

Ti Rich

Obviously your not too far from Best of British as well.

Welcome to the Midlands Grant.

Ti Rich

Put a 3.0L derv engine in it and i'll buy one.

Ti Rich

No where near that quick, in fact in real life most tests show about 8.3 seconds.

My derv would have em now!

Ti Rich

OK, so it might look OK on a Grey ZT.....now who has one of those.......

Ti Rich

Get well soon mate, leave the car - it can wait for a few days.

Ti Rich

Don't like that Paul - don't do it!!!!

Wow - I had better tell my 7 years old kids to have babies then!

The ZT does feel a lot slower than the 600, ask anyone who has changed from on to the other. It's made worse if you were driving a 600ti as the power delivery on the 190 is completely different. They are smooth and quiet and comfortable. A tuned diesel is the best bet - trust me...unless you can afo...

Big thanks to Clare

Hey!

My torque was 267 not 265 - Neil beat me by one!

G- you were right, 20 down on your as expected!

Need to put a few HARD miles on it i think. Were the other results as expected or on the low side our of interest?

Ti Rich

I have a MG flask which i won, i'll fill that as a back up!

Ti Rich

Thanks Clare

I will be there at 9:30 and would appreciate an early run too if possible as i need to get back and finish off some decorating!

Ti Rich

What time do we need to arrive?

I need a long time to get there in the derv.........

Ti Rich

Rich what are you testing Rons Synergy and your remap? Keith, Testing the following over 3 runs i hope:- Stage 1 (to prove that a remap doesn't give 160BHP) Intake Mod ECU Remap K+N spring boost mod Stage 2 (to prove the effect of the MAFAM low down) As above but with MAFAM Stage 3 (max power run) ...

I don't think Paul (Raistlin295) is running, he is a passenger in my car!

Ti Rich

The problem with the ZT V8, and most ZT's is that they don't "feel" that quick even when they are. The cars are so smooth and quiet (without X-Power Exhausts) that they are deceptivley quick. I sometimes think the diesel is very slow (OK, it is off the mark) but then look behind and see th...

Ti Rich

Thanks Clare!

It will only take seconds between runs.

Ti Rich

Guys

I need to do 3 runs to prove a few things, don't mind paying extra - will this be a problem?

Only need seconds between runs to throw a few switches.

Ti Rich

OK, I am in too. But the ZT derv won't be up to Golf Tdi power levels!!

Summit garage in Dudley, they are an ex MGR Garage and very helpful.

Ti Rich

Fantastic price - that's may even be cheaper than the diesel version whould have cost!!!

Some how, I thought you wouldn't go for the derv version!

Good luck, hope it's a good un.

Ti Rich

I have a ZT CDTi with a remap giving about 160 BHP. It's going to K+N soon as a test bed for their new enclosed Apollo air filter range which should release a few more ponies The remap is giving slightly better MPG, currently getting 45MPG which isn't bad. The ZT uses the BMW M47 engine and not the ...

Just remembered that 14kg was the wheel only, NOT including the tyre.

I was sending a new wheel to someone and weighed it at work on calibrated scales.

Ti Rich

An 18" ZT alloy with tyre is 14kg so i would say 10-12kg for a 17" version.

Ti Rich

Take a trip over to Rover Ron's website for Rover diesel heaven!!!

Lot's of fault finding stuff too!

Sooner or later i will realise the mistake in going diesel
