Anything else?

I think that used to be it but I believe that like the migs it got altered as belt failures were occurring before due time

Aug 2011 at 12:44 Have a shufty at the MG-Rover.org forum. Full of useful info. The 2.5 V6 are a lot of car for the money. Often sold cheaply when the time comes to change the belts. Main dealers (X-part) charge a fortune (£600-800+) and independants often decline to do the work!!

160??

Thought that the autos were 180 and manuals 190?

Of the 2.5's there are three different variants a 160 BHP, a 180 BHP Auto and the 190, unfortunately I didn't go and have a look today as I've got major problems with my van at the minute Undecided
