This thread is how I changed the condenser on my MGZT, this was due to it not performing as it should when cool air was called for, it includes removing the front bumper, so that will be the first part of the job I will deal with.

That's because the top of the motor will ...

The R75 and or the MGZT 1.8, 2.0, or diesel sometimes have a two wire 2 speed fan which fails, most of the time it will be the silver resistor that as failed once failed it will need changing for a Gold resistor.

This thread/post will hopefully help those whom wish to deal with this replacement themselves.

Once you have purchased the Gold resistor you will need to remove the front bumper to carry out ...

This is a pictorial how to on how I do an oil change on the R75 MGZT diesel.

My first bit of advise is get all your tools and items you will need together and allocate your self a day for the oil change to take place.

On the day of the oil change drive ...
