MG ZR ZS ZT Technical - MG 75 Diesel?

Can anyone tell me if there is such a thing?
Eric Lowes

No, not with 117BHP, anyway

Still, it would be a nice toy with a 180BHP V6 oil-burner

What about the 5 cylinder Storm engine from the Discovery?

It would surely stick out of the sides!

Not if mounted longitudinally, as per the ZT385.
Mr Peebles

Dave,

What's this about a R75 with the uprated BMW diesel?
Is it the uprated version of the current M47 TD4 unit?

For us drivers of KV6 engined R75's now being hammered by the new emission taxations for company vehicles, a uprated diesel powered MG ZT / R75 sounds very interesting. Is there any info. from MGR on this?
Adrian

Adrian,

It's as you surmise, for exactly the reasons you've stated (co2 taxation). It should also help European sales. Expect to see them in September.

Your other option may be to stick with KV6 and go LPG. MGR dealers now have conversion details.

Not another plug, Jerry?

Not me I'm afraid. I can only post as a registered member. Stopped plugging soon after I started the Forum. Remember Kelvin mentioning how unpolite it was!

MG announce today (July 18) a number of actions planned for the popular MG ZT and ZT-T models to further enhance appeal – the availability of a common rail diesel engine, standard fitment of a slightly more pliant suspension set-up, a sports suspension option, the introduction of an integral bootlid lip spoiler and a wider choice from the Monogram programme. The pliant suspension and Monogram enhancements are available with immediate effect, the diesel engine from mid August and the lip spoiler from the end of August.

MG ZT and ZT-T New Diesel Engine

To capitalise on the growing diesel market aided by lower CO2 ratings, the availability of a diesel engine will be introduced to the MG ZT and ZT-T ranges from mid August. The 2.0 litre engine uses the very latest common rail diesel technology, allowing finer atomisation resulting in more efficient combustion.

Appealing to the sports orientated motorist who requires high levels of fuel economy, the MG ZT/ZT-T diesels will enjoy extremely competitive levels of performance. The saloon is capable of 0-60mph in 11.0 secs, 30-50mph (4th gear) in 8.1 seconds and a top speed of 120mph. In terms of economy the ZT has an official Combined figure of 48.8mpg.
