have a read thru this

ROVER 75 MGZT ENGINE FAULT FINDING

be a couple of rover 75 water ingress issues
one to the air intake .. probably effects the maf sensor
the other being the ecu position ..

with the lr td4 .. it's usually water getting to the fuel rail pressure sensor plug
and causing corrosion on the plug/socket pins .. etc ..

~~~~~~~~~

might be other related articles on the newer site

http://www.tuning-diesels.co.uk/

and/or at the rover-mg forum in the diesel section
