Welcome along, do you collect today?

Welcome car looks a great buy

I Think @andy james was selling his black leather seats in good condition. He can confirm if still available.

If you can look at sports cars in the park, Newby hall, nr Ripon. I went this year as you know Rich. Runs every year in May. Nothing announced yet on their website but has a cracking array of cars. Lots to do for whole family as well. Would be great to have a forum stand.

Welcome along remember this zed and former owner were on here around a year back.

Yeah. Gutted for you Stu. Makes you wonder if some ar** wipes do it deliberately. It certainly pays off to have a “banger” daily you dont mind getting dented then a “nice” weekend car, although I appreciate its not possible for some.

I have had a mishimoto rad fitted for 18 months. Never had an issue with overheating, sounds like i may have one of the rare good ones. I still have the oem fans and an oil cooler which may help. Anybody else have a “good” mishi rad?

You must have been the Zed in while Mitz was doing my MOT and service last Saturday. Need to get mine done at some point but oil pressure is fine at moment. What mileage was yours on and what hot idle pressure was it showing, Mitz said they definitely needed doing on yours.

Thankyou Rob and Chelsea for organising. Definately had the best run after lunch. Great to meet everyone for first time.

I think they get the lines from “the salesmans book of b*ll*cks” available from all shady bookstores priced at £29.99 guarenteed to get you more sales or your money back!

Slightly off topic for this thread but i went to see a car once with the money all ready to buy, description and pics all looked fine on internet. Got there for a test drive and salesman said. I can knock you a grand off (from 6k to 5k) if you want today, trade sale, no warranty, went out for drive EML light was on. I asked what the fault was, he said, there is no fault, the EML light comes on, on all deisel cars when its cold (it was around +3c) it goes off when its fully warmed up. I mean, come off it pal, obviously i ran a mile, wasnt suprised to find out driving by same garage today that they are now out of business!

The uk models have come down to a price now though where there is little difference money wise. Yes i agree, some imports will be in excellent condition but i was suprised to see the amount of factory underseal protection on my uk model when i recently topped it all up. Looking on youtube, i was equally amazed at the lack of any protection on US models. I mean it was just bare shell exposed. Of course if the import has been fully treated then fair enough but something you need to ensure with our weather. Also, when i was on the CAT driver day, Colin was saying how he was involved in the extensive reworking of the car for the European market, think thats why it took a year longer to come out over here. He was saying something like 80 odd things were changed including the whole suspension/ handling setup to cope with 150mph on the autobahn. The jap models were never realy tested over 100mph. Again, i stress, its all subjective, the often used expression “buy on condition” applies as usual.
