Corr....looks like you've got the knack of that Tony! I'm sure we chatted about this at the NEC, but have a look on youtube for 'Trev's Blog'. He uses the RTech equipment and his tutorials are excellent. Looking forward to the Sprint project commencing. All the best. MC |

Give them a ring before you order it, they often have deals or ex demo/shop soiled units at a discount. I spoke to Arran very helpful. |

Hi Steve, Yes I have read a lot about leaks into the boot on the SD1, the joys of British cars. Cheers Tony |

The holes in the boot floor are there to let out the water that comes in round the tailgate seal and rear lights on all SD1s. I was (un)fortunate enough to PDI loads of new ones in the late 70s, it was a rare car that didn't already have a growing puddle, straight off the transporter! Make sure you leave at least 1 hole for the escape!
The Rover 75, a car they made 25 years later, is notorious for leaking into the boot as well. Which I suppose is why the company went under. They could never get the little details right.

Oh no that is the tip of the iceberg, it can also leak through the rear screen mounting clips and the side trim. Have a look at some of the examples on 75 forums. I have sealed my rear lights, it reduced the leak, it didn't fully cure it. Which in my view is a designed flaw.To be fair, a Honda Jazz can be used as a mobile fish tank, so even the Japanese get it wrong sometimes. |

Most electric problems to main ECU is blocked plenum drains and poor quality BMW electrics straight out of the 3 series. Never hear people deride those though. Generally a car that does not deserve its reputation and received many an accolade during and after production. Fastest growing car club also and a very large following.
Ah, poor quality BMW electrics. Owning a 17 year old Z3 I know all about those. I have had to resort to buying the INPA software so I can interrogate the car at home. I seem to have got most of the issues ironed out for now, but at some cost.I really rate the MG ZT, especially the V6 version, and the estate (ZT-T) is my favourite. Smooth, powerful, refined and a generally very nice car. I ought to buy one really, but I have four cars already - and a wife! |
