MG ZS 180 - Custom 2-DIN Head Unit Installation
The MG ZS 180 can only be fitted with a single DIN head unit... let's change that, and get a double-size 2 DIN one in the dash instead.
This gives me a touchscreen Android 8.1 radio, with Bluetooth, GPS navigation, a reversing/backup camera, as well as a host of other features such as aux in for USB and video in/out connections.
No reason why this same approach can't be applied to do custom installations in any number of other cars, it's just a case of checking how much space there really is in the dash, and what can be done to rearrange switchgear etc as necessary.
If at all possible, get a spare centre console/radio surround from a scrapyard or something, so you can freely mess about with ...

MG ZS 180 - Stealth Towbar Conversion
Просмотров 2,3 тыс.4 года назад
When I bought my MG ZS 180, it had a towbar fitted by the previous owner - not something I needed, and hardly the best looking addition to a car, but I didn't want to remove it entirely in case I did have need of it. Instead, with a lot of UK towbar designs, you can leave the main frame attached to the car, and just remove the section that extends past the bumper. It's not QUITE as convenient a...
MG ZS 180 - Handbrake Repair/Rear Brake Caliper Replacement
Просмотров 7 тыс.4 года назад
The MG ZS 180 handbrake is well known for being rather poor, but mine was actively bad, and in need of some attention. This repair should also cover the other ZS variants, and the same approach is valid for most cars which use a handbrake acting on the rear caliper. I also dismantle it so you can see why these kinds of handbrake mechanisms have a tendency to fail in this way. Title music: "Retr...
MG ZS 180 - KV6 Thermostat Replacement Full Guide
Просмотров 14 тыс.4 года назад
The MG ZS 180 uses the Rover KV6 engine, and the thermostats on these are known for two things - they break, and they're awkward to get at! No, making cooling system parts out of plastic then hiding them in the guts of the engine isn't one of my favourite design decisions to encounter. But I had to replace mine to fix a significant coolant leak, so here's a step-by-step on how you do that. It's...
MG ZS 180 DIY "Sheddist" Clutch Hydraulics Fix With Honda Parts
Просмотров 7 тыс.4 года назад
My 2003 MG ZS 180 had broken clutch hydraulics - hardly surprising, they pretty much all do that... So I fitted a "Sheddist" conversion using metal Honda components to remove the weak points, modifying the original bracket to do so - no new bracket needed! Just some cheap Honda clutch master and slave cylinders plus some sundries and an offcut of scrap metal. This meant the conversion was only ...
MG ZS 180 - Rust Repair, Undersealing & Corrosion Protection
Просмотров 7 тыс.4 года назад
It was cheap for a reason! Yikes! Repairing some pretty large rust holes in the structure of my performance bargain 2003 MG ZS 180, followed by protecting it at least a little better for the future with some underseal and Waxoyl cavity wax. We're not going for full concours restoration here, just patching things up to a semi-reasonable level and getting a bit more life out of it! Title music: "...
The Best Value Performance Car In The UK?

Everyone loves a bargain, and I think I've found one! Does this car represent the best combination of performance and handling you can find for less than the UK's average weekly wage? I hope so, because I bought it! Title music: "RetroFuture Clean" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

When I previously changed the gearbox, transfer case, and rear axle oils on my Daihatsu Cuore Avanzato TR-XX R4 project car, it looks like I made a mistake with how I chose to fill the transfer box, and there's a slightly easier/better way to do it! The FAQs: "So this is a Mira, right?" - Yes, sort of. It is basically identical to the L500 (specifically, the L512S) Daihatsu Mira TR-XX Avanzato ...
