Due to some F**King scumbag stealing our C max, we need a new car. looked at a few on Autotrader, just wondered if there are any things i should look out for? ( please only serious replies...Ta)
*edited due to shit spelling*

 

I would personally stay away from any petrol Rover.
however the diesel version of the ZT -T is the nuts in all fashions.

 

these do suffer from headgasket problems!

 

hence why i suggested the diesil as its a bmw lump.

 

Headgasket problems pretty much eliminated now, thanks to LAND ROVER, my friend does nothing but rovers (01953 458000Richard).
Saying that I have NEVER heard of a cossie with a blown haedgasket!!

thanks guys, i will have look at the derv models...

 

Yerp Derv ones top noch!

We have a 2004 estate (facelift with single headlights) Had it since new... now done 130k and the only thing we had a problem with was the locking wheel nuts...

Its a derv one, and has also been remapped! Goes very well, and draws a lot of attention - Its trophy blue

The V6 K series does not have the same HGF problems as the 4 pot models and are pretty reliable, we have a 190hp version and have now put 50k miles on it since it's purchase without a single problem but at 25mpg it's not the cheapest to run.

Diesels on the other hand are very economical and although quite smooth when moving you do know that you are driving an oil burner when it's sitting there idling.

Whichever engine type you go for you should try and get one with all the toys such as Sat Nav,TV, Computer & Alcantara trim , they don't cost that much more when secondhand and have the bonus of being the same as BMW fit.

I would not trade our silky smooth petrol V6 for a diesel version, no way!

 

never knew the c-max got nicked mate

not having a good time of it are you mate

 

Pic of ours....

 

We have a diesel ZS had it from 8 miles on the engine on a 53 plate. It has now done 156 thousand in that short time and only had a clutch and tyres. Been all over europe etc been a cracking work horse for the daily shit and still looks ood.

 

Same colour but earlier version..

 

love the wheels Martin

is there a car made that they don't suit
