Title: Hi new ed30 owner
Post by: liam81 on May 29, 2013, 11:39:35 pm

Evening,

I have been a member of the forum for nearly a year and find it really useful so though it time I say hi.

I picked up my Edition 30 last July as a replacement for my old MG ZR diesel.
Original plan was to find a low mileage high spec 05/06 when this popped up within my budget so having settled for the MG instead of a 25th Anniversary back in 2005 I decided to go for it.

Very happy with it as standard but fighting the urge to mod (trying to save money for our wedding).

To date the only work I have done maintenance as follows:
Major service (VW Listers)
Replace disc and pads (Volks)
Replaced DV
Fitted Dension Gateway Five
Fitted Eagle F1s

And parts ready to replace:
Cam follower
PCV
Console bushes
Rear shock

Sorry not many pictures at the moment but see below

Cheers
Liam

Thanks Tortaruga

Frodo-anni - yeah it was a big comprise but I couldnt find a low mileage for my money at the time (guess I didn't have enough) but 75k of mostly trouble free motoring and fun times had with the spare cash! Made up for it now hopefully :)
