Pearl Black 2004 MG ZT260SE mark 1, V8 for sale

Just an update on the car. Toured up to Scotland, toured France around reims area. Now has over 121,000 on it and I love it and can't stop driving the thing. Had the car detailed by a mate of mine and it looked new once he had finished with the exception of the front bumper scuff. Now had that done. Had a couple of oil changes and will be replacing all spark plugs over the winter as I'm getting a misfire sometimes, diff and gearbox oil check and sort the clicking noise behind the dash. I know what it is but will sort when it's off road for the winter.

Just noticed, "121k". Are you sure that the PCV valve has been changed at 90k according to the service schedule?
So called "experts" say don't bother, BUT Ford say 80k, MGR 90k, and my car was 105k from the prior replacement when it failed, sticking open or closed according to how it felt and creating very random weak-mixture misfiring. Both the PCV valve and the pipe, which rots and leaks air, are available from RockAuto and quite reasonably priced. ... just my two-penneth!

(Edit) Motocraft numbers for RockAuto:
PCV valve: EV-261 (2C5Z-6A666-AA)
Hose to Throttle-body: KCV-240 (2L2Z-6A664-FA)
