MG ZR ZS ZT Technical - Mg Car Crime

Did you know the ZR and ZS were only manufactured with a CAT 2 alarm and immobiliser a system that is 6 years old and based on the rover 200. Due to increased theft of brand new vehicles, free insurance is now not avaliable and as of 6 weeks ago ZR models are now produced with a CAT 1 system.

Direct line forced me to fit a tracker, £270 + £99pa subscription. Still having spoken to a mate who is a copper it would appear if the signal goes off forget muggers and rapist they all go on the hunt, which I thought was nice to know?!

The ZT is listed as Thatcham 2 with the standard perimetric alarm. If the optional volumetric alarm is also fitted does this promote it to Thatcham 1?

Have to comment...

Do know someone who had their ZR160 nicked by joyriders, thrashed till the engine almost died, then recovered. MG recond. the car and they have it back. Needed a new engine.

How many others think car theifs should have their hands dissolved in buckets of acid?

Anyway it seems the car theifs know about this dated security too.

I always find people who talk about themselves in the 3rd person to be somewhat suspect. Mega seems to prove my point.
