Hey all..

Well i got a MGzr 160, and its about due a service...

The girlfriends dad is a bit of a DIY mechanic and is more than capable of the job, and is familiar with the car (he has a rover 25)

however the haynes manual doesnt cover the 160 and i was wondering if the timing belt is changed in just the same way as the 25?

anyone know?

Thanks

hello, there are actually two belts on the 160 due to the vvc as for a manual to do it have a look on ebay there are manuals on discs which can be purchased that will have all the info you need. hope this helps

it does have two belts but i don't think the rear one needs changing routinely - just replaced if taken off. the front belt is pretty much the same as the rover (with the possible exception of a different style of tensioner). i would recomend the ebay cd manual though - they are cheaper than a haynes and cover more - well worth it, i have got one which i used strip the head down on my zr 160
