I dont think they do a LCR TDI, they either do a LCR (1.8 20vt or now 2.0 FSIt) or the run out model is a FR. They do a LC TDI 150bhp and also do that in a FR form which is extremely like a LCR (same front bumper and sameish wheels). Brilliant cars though, was looking at getting one instead of the ZRTD, but buying a house is on the cards and was a difference of 100squid a month to pay. maybe next year tho.

25,

2004 MG ZR 2.0TD, Grey, Full Leather

Previous cars:

97' Rover 216 Coupe
94' Clio Williams
96' Clio Valver
98' Escort GTI
99' Saxo VTR
92' Fiesta XR2i
94' Corsa GSI
94' Escort Azure

Next:

Seat LC TDI Mk1 with Revo remap. (next year hopefully)

A fair few and the ZR is by far the best of the bunch. A little on the slow side though.

Current cars 2005 MG ZS 120+ and a 1998 Rover Coupe VVC.

always intended to get rid of the coupe when I got the ZS but its so much fun and performance wise it makes the ZS look like a pedal car.

Also have MG Montego Turbo but it hasn't been on the road for years and will probably be off the road for a good many years to come. Most it gets is a run up and down the drive occassionally.

Previous Cars (in no particular order)....

93 Nissan Primera Diesel
91 Ford Escort (biggest pile of junk I have ever owned)
89 Rover 214 (brother now owns and its still going strong with 180k and a broken headbolt)
86 Montego 1.6 estate (Awful! car, handled like a block of lard on a summers day)
85 Talbot Horizon
78 Talbot Sunbeam

My favourite out of all of them is my Montego Turbo......so much fun!
