Anyone got one? If so what they like me and the Mrs. have decided on a MG ZT next if we can't get a Volvo V70. :)

I'd go for the Volvo.  We've MOT'd quite a few of both, V70's don't seem to fail on much, whereas MG/rover 75 fail regularly on rusty brake pipes, worn front ball joints, (which is part of the arm and expensive ) , handbrakes not working, broken rear springs, and various other bits.

The engines are a bit suspect as well , with head gasket and cylinder head problems , and the gearbox isn't the strongest in the world.

Parts for MG seem mega expensive as well , we had to fit a new indicator/dip switch to an MG ZR recently ,  and it was over £150, the same thing for an Omega is about £40 I think.

Get the Volvo............if you want a car where spares are no longer available and the slightest bit of damage is going to result in a write off.....then get the Rover.

Also remember that none of these rolled off the production line after April 2005......so if its later than that then its been in field for a long time.

In fact, most of the last 2 years of production spent a long time in fields!
