Welcome to the forum - I fear there won't be much in the way of replies as there are very few who still seem to visit nowadays. There is however, a great deal of information around the site, so...

Cruise control is certainly a bit of a rarity for the ZR - there was an option for cruise over here, but it wasn't well publicised (and I think may have been available only via the 'Monogram' special...

That ZS could well be the only one; certainly it is unlikely that many people would have gone to the trouble (and cost) of importing one privately, although there was a ZS 180 in Rio Red included in...

Yes, it should be possible to run a separate power feed to the window switch to bypass the Pektron unit; I am not entirely sure where the overload sensing is controlled from to stop the motor at the...

The correct offset for the ZR is 45mm.

The standard wheels and tyres for the ZR160 were 17" straights fitted with 205/45/17 tyres. Your 215/50/17 will be larger overall diameter as well as...

Front fog lamps have their own separate relay (in the under bonnet fuse box), but the function is indirectly controlled by the SCU - if fog lamps are retro-fitted to a base model car (that would not...

It will be the relay in the Pektron SCU that has failed. Your 160 will have air con, so the SCU is PITA to get out (it is mounted on a bracket on the front bulkhead behind the air con evaporator...

Take care to only use the correct oil for the Stepspeed gearbox (CVT oil, NOT automatic transmission fluid). The Stepspeed is not like a conventional automatic, it is a van Doorn type driven by...

FAR/Trophy Yellow does seem to be difficult to get a perfect match from aftermarket paint suppliers. I am pretty sure it is over a grey primer, but you will probably see what is underneath the...

That's very sad to see. It has obviously had some very brutal treatment since you owned it. Very upsetting for you, and also for the rest of us - it always seems to be the decent ones that the...

Welcome to the forum (bit quiet nowadays though :( ).

Mirage was one of a range of colours which MG Rover offered via a special ordering scheme called Monogram, which gave buyers of new MG Rover...

The generator drive belt on a 25/ZR with air conditioning is kept tight by an auto tensioner, whereas the belt on a 25/ZR without air conditioning has to be manually tightened using a bolt which fits...

A sniff test will only tell you if the head gasket has failed at the fire rings, and exhaust gases are getting into the coolant. It can only be used as an aid to confirmation of this as there will...

Deleted duplicate of previous post.

As John says, the dampers are the same part for all versions of the ZR - part number RND000340, so your existing springs can be fitted to a replacement damper without issue. At the rear, both...

Outer is the dipped beam, inner is the high/main beam.

Welcome to the forum - sadly not many around here these days, so your input will be very welcome :)

I've a +120 also - think you will enjoy yours once you have any issues sorted out.

This will be the internal immobiliser alarm which sounds if you try to turn the ignition key to start the engine without the security system receiving the disarm signal from the fob (ie. trying to...

If the 'buzz' you refer to is more of a high pitched sound, and is coming from near the throttle body, it is merely the stepper motor in the inlet air control valve (IACV) resetting. It is perfectly...

Welcome to the forum.

What exactly do you want to know about - the 160, being the top of the range model came with a lot of things which were optional extras on the lower models:
17" Straights...

Welcome to the forum. It is a bit quiet here nowadays, but anything you post will be appreciated.

Welcome also, to ZR 120 ownership - I have had two of these and have mostly enjoyed them every...

Likewise on all points :) Hoping for a better year than last year, although the start hasn't been great - found the Typhoon ZR I've been trying to bring back to some semblance of decency has...

Unfortunately the '160' badge for below the side indicator repeaters has been 'no longer available' from XPart for some time now. Your only hope really is to keep an eye on eBay and the ZR related...

I assume they mean the change from the early wet liner K series to the damp liner type, which happened when the original K series range of 1.1 and 1.4 litre engines was expanded to include a 1.6 and...

Worth mentioning that there is no actual 'pin' to locate either the cam belt sprocket or the crankshaft pulley on the crank shaft.

The end of the crank shaft is 'D' shaped, and the cam belt...
