I just bought a brand new ZT diesel . Hope to get it in about 10days , it is currently making its way from the factory. Got an amazing deal , the car is coming with nearly every option and I am getting the lastest 165ps power upgrade- should be a flying machine. Colour is black pearl.
I heard a few weeks ago (from a MGR service manager) that another software upgrade was on the way for the CDTi, he said the cost would be similar to the previous upgrade.
I can't imagine that a hike from 115Ps to 165Ps can be done purely down to software. The Xpower upgrade can only get it to 135Ps, and Superchips can only get it to about 140Ps. So what could this mean? Is it a misprint?
Don't think it's a misprint. It is entirely possibe to get 160+BHP out of the CDTi engine with just a software change - several tuning companies offer this amount of power or more. But it does appear thats about the limit without resulting to mechanical modifications. The Superchips upgrade is the least powerful of any tuning company.
It must be true as the salesman at SMC told me that an official new xpower upgrade can take the 135 up to 160 plus. It's covered by warranty because it is xpower approved by MGR.

Nice one jcn27, you just converted a forum lurker into a member! Where did you get your car from as I WANT this upgrade!! My local dealer knows nothing about it! :guns:
Thanks & you'll love the car, its fabulous. Easily MGR's best car.

don't think the VVC's peeps will like that, they might have the sound of the diesel engine but not the performance of the real thing. (Did I say that out loud) :doh: :boxedin:
P.S. That was said in jest in case you didn't know

I'd agree with that. Why do so many people look to brands like BMW for class when it's right there under their nose. I think it's image.
By the way, welcome.
Just to add, I've had it confirmed this is not an MG Rover approved upgrade, so needless to say, the warranty would almost certainly (i.e. I can't see how it could stay valid) be invalid.
Be very careful if you do get an upgrade above 131...
