Selling No.457 Fitted with Kenne Bell Supercharger

26/05/22. (Seller) "Now SOLD"

I have decided to sell No.457 MG ZTT 400. Having owned to car for the last 6 years, and spent a few bob on her as well. I have had my fun so it's time for someone else to have the fun. The Bear goes back into the garage tomorrow to have the advisory, suspension arm attachment, rectified as the garage have sourced the new parts required. The other advisories can be dealt with at a later date either by the new owner or me if I still have the car.

The supercharger was fitted by the first owner 16th January 2007. Work carried out by Dreadnought in Callander Scotland,

Second owner Blue Mustang. Third Owner Paul Collins

Current mileage is 73,101. But will continue to rise. Need to keep the battery charged.

January 2022. Moorlands Auto Solutions* had the car three weeks and couldn't figure the mis-fire. They wanted to remove the ECU and have reprogrammed. I contacted Chris Flanagan who it was either the coil packs or a break in the wiring. Nothing to do with the ECU.
I ordered NEW coil packs from Rock Auto 09/01/2022 and Moorlands fitted them still no joy. I then got the car home and contacted Chris Flanagan and booked the car in with him. Car was trailered up and home, cheaper than me having to go and get her by public transport.
