    Default Can some one help me ?

    Hi i am buying this car and had wondered if anyone has seen her before or knows the history.

    Also i noticed a noise on the test drive it sounded like air flow or something like that and only happened after 3500 Revs is this normal ?

    Thanks Pete

    (SORRY this may be the second time I've posted this although im sure i deleted the last one it went some where !)

    Not sure those wheels are sufficiently robust for the V8...they are facelift 190 spec wheels and never recommended, nor appeared on the V8...

    Had Apex's last time I was with it. Guy sold it to a garage I think, it then disappeared for a while. PM Guy and ask for the details.

    Yup that's my old car! In fact I put the wheels on. The original "straights" are on Tim's Rover 75!!. The wheels are perfectly ok on the car. The little MG stickers are even still on the brakes - Didn't think they would last as long as they have!

    The car had full service history when I traded it, and Peter had done the diff oil. I had no problems with the car at all. Still looks good.

    Hi Pete- was the airflow noise like a rushing/fizzing/sizzling noise from the drivers footwell/transmission tunnel. If so its well known, the flow restrictor will not be fitted in the heater pipe. Its easily fixable and nothing to worry about.

    The wheels are fine, they were standard fitment on the non SE 260.

    Good luck with the car Pete
