Good luck! Where abouts in the country are you? Someone local may be able to lend a keen eye when going to look over a new motor

Heater hose has a tendancy to blow, loosing coolant. Many are on original pipes even with track day racing etc.. so luck of the draw, but an uprated replacement is available and easy to fit.

Fan resistor or common to all 75/ZT's so plenty of information about that from us, mg-rover.org and 75/zt community. I've got a mark 1 so don't have it but i beleive it fails and only makes fan work on soooper warp speed. Again, not a difficult job by all accounts.

Most of the issues that we find are 'common' are fixable and not major issues with the car.

Have fun and hope you buy
