  • Mg Zr-105

    Hello car friends, I did a test drive this morning with an MG ZR-105 and am (with limitations) enthusiastic! The engine makes a great sound with the sports package – incredible! So it is a real pleasure to overtake with +4000upm. So now the question arises to me: How durable are the motors? Is there an above-average failure rate, due to regular speed orgies? Generally, the feed of the small engine did not convince me very much, since the car also The saleswoman said that the car had to be driven in (he had about 3000km on it). Can’t I imagine that something will change then?! Best regards Marc

  • Let’s ask the Rover drivers: What do you think of Roewe?

    Hello Rover Forum. The title actually asks the question already. I would be interested in how you would like to stand for a Roewe, as they will soon be available here. How do you find the models? How do you feel about the brand? etc. Here are some links from a thread of mine: Click

  • MG Roadster

    Hi, I’m new here. Since I’m just looking around for a new vehicle (have my Golf IV somehow filled up), I happened to come across MG by chance. I’m very excited about the look and the price but there’s something behind it? Would have taken a closer look at the TF and the MGF. As you know about it I would like to ask you a few questions. So in advance, my price limit is 12.00€ for this, so probably only the model years 2001-2005 are possible. – E Are they suitable as first (full year)- or only as second car (doesn’t shoot me for the question )? –> Are they suitable for everyday use? (would buy me a scrap bowl for a very bad ride in winter) – How high is the maintenance cost approximate? – Are there common factory errors/child diseases? – How large are the service intervals? – Which parts have to be changed at which km stand? (e.g. timing belt change) – What is the customer service at Rover? What do you think about this offer (exemplary) and what should be considered?Click

  • Pro/Kontra Rover?

    Hello forum, so actually I am the reason type when it comes to cars. And in the end this also (almost) always gets against the “want” to have. But as an auto-enthusiastic person, I also sometimes get rid of the fantasies of cars, where I have been thinking for a long time about whether I should just buy one of these. Currently this is the Rover 75, a vehicle that I didn’t have at all on the screen and which I became aware of because it was recently hi it was mentioned in the purchase advice. I have rummaged a little in the car exchanges, and find that they are, although the offer is very small, for what they offer quite cheap. For 3000 to 600€ are advertised vehicles, which are probably at the level of an E class, but IMHO look far better. The rover is also one of the few cars, where I find that the limousine looks better than the station wagon. In addition, the rover can afford a lot, which is only old for other cars. looks, e.g. the white interior, the dashboard in root wood and the oval instruments, … to the vehicle that fits easily. What about, so far I only know it from pictures from sales advertisements. Does any of you know these vehicles, or why did they get so little used to in the German-speaking area? Is the quality bad, or only the reputation? Repairs unaffordable or impossible? Why are there so few with automatic, even though the IMHO DAS car would be for… Or e I admit that the probability that I will actually buy one is rather low, I know myself well, but in the end reason will get through again, but maybe the one or the other who is also interested, and a lively discussion develops. And who knows, I manage to break it out of the decisions of reason LG, Elwood

  • Outlander PHEV 12V battery empty starting aid required

    Outlander BJ 10/2021, 12.000km Hello together, On holiday I drove 14days about 1000km without charging only with gasoline. On the spot only short distance.

After starting aid from a nice neighbor and charge mode the car started and since about 14 days no P roblem more. Do you know such a topic at the Outi? VG DD53

  • Eclipse Cross Base PHEV FCM

    We’ve had one for two weeks now. The manual is already a book. A lot is unnecessary. It also has a tracking warning system and a front collision avoidance system in the basic version. But unfortunately, either I don’t find it, or I don’t get it, the FCM doesn’t get turned on. For a long time press on the said switch, either the small light is on (FCM off) or no display at all. Then you can set the distance (wide, medium, close). wanted to test the function with a friend. It does not slow down. Does this only work with the cruise control switched on or what do I not understand? In the operating instructions only, press the switch for a long time to switch off or on. Christian

  • Mitsubishi Colt czt

    Hi people I drive a colt czt. he has 150 ps series and I would like to make an increase in performance to approx. 190-200ps. I would let that be done in a professional tuning workshop. they have in common that I can drive 200ps without any technical changes on any case, so without motor or gearbox to change something. this company would make the increase in performance via a mapping, so by optimizing the software. I apparently need to improve the performance the Japanese motors can apparently tolerate a lot when it comes to something like that. however, the durability of my motor is also very important to me, or I don’t want to wear it out too quickly or overload it. I know, if you change what the performance is, of course, the veil is also higher but I prefer to be more careful and rather ask in the round. someone here knows about these motors and can tell me what to watch out for should? is basically advised not to do that or does it really not if I stay in the ps frame? thank you for your reply

  • Space Star (2016) – Radio installation?

    Hello, I will soon take possession of the Space Star in the 2016 variant. Unfortunately, it was only enough for the basic equipment. Since I don’t want to do without music, I would like to upgrade at least one radio. Loudspeakers seem to be already installed according to the description, which makes me rather relieved. However, for the radio there is no simple insert, as I know it from “formerly”. Instead, a large plastic panel is located here, where with larger So, what kind of device can I install here & how is it supposed to work? Are there devices that are designed for this “form factor”? Is there absolutely hundreds of euros? Maybe there are also built-in frames in which you can then put a normal radio again? Questions about questions – does anyone know about this?
