Sorry to read all this. Never nice when it all goes a bit sour. Hope the dog gets through it but looking at the state of the bumper I'd hate to see how a human would take an impact to tear a bumper let alone a dog.... Might be worth taking advise on what your rights are regarding this Mike? You're not the only one to have hit an animal and in this case it's clear who the owners are. Not that I wish them any more pain, but you were doing nothing wrong

Thanks for those who showed some interest. With the starting problem comingback this week I wasn't comfortable passing it on to someone who might rely on it for work. So this morning the grim reaper came to collect the car and take it to it's maker! Pics will follow when I get time!

Where can you get the kit from?

Last chance - scrappage guy is coming tomorrow morning unless I hear anything positive this afternoon

Assuming you bought it new I would go back to the seller in the first instance and discuss it.

But £80 fills it up and £60 takes it 3/4. My fuel gauge has been playing up a little lately though. Its a bit erratic! One minute it will say full and the next its down to 3/4 and then back up again!? A lot of fuel gauges move with the fuel and also reflect the 'economy' the car is experiencing. It doesn't take much to consume fuel in a Zed - I have done nearly a quarter of a tank just moving mine in and out of the garage for cleaning / waxing sessions (over time, not in one go!)

Probably a difficult question but anyone ever monitored how long the ECU "re-learns"? Is it hours/days or weeks? About 3 miles in my experience

Price lowered! £300 ono The intermittent start issue came back briefly yesterday. If there is no taker by tomorrow morning I will be sending it away on a low loader to be crushed....

Nice work!

If the car is black then I can see it - otherwise the look does nothing for me

Personally just a clean, unfussy, well made, logo free, normal font numberplate looks best - why do you want to draw attention to a £12 bit of acrylic?!

What's wrong with it?! It is 90's design but it's more comfortable than a lot of modern cars! Replacement is one of these, coming next week One of the best interiors on any mass produced car IMO So I need to get the 440 off the drive people.....

Sadly not RWD no. Otherwise it could've become a trackday project (subject to space and her indoors.......)

We need a clue. Wheels are 4 figures. A stubby aerial is £15..... Where in that range are we playing!?

The tax disc is worth more than that.... Which reminds me, I'll update the first post!

So how much do you have left to spend on mods? Pics of the car?

Also double check the tyre pressures - on dodgy camber roads you can get all sorts of movements

A replacement Zed??

Check the for sale section - my daily driver is for sale and might be what you're looking for!

And I have a bag of random parts to go with it, including a clutch, and headlight unit and door handles (amongst other bits!)

My current daily drive is up for sale. With new baby coming I have just got me a newer Volvo coming. The details..... This car was my Dad's company car in 1995, it was sold to a long term customer of his, he bought it back off her when she changed her car. My Mum then used it before I took it off her about 4/5 years ago. 1995 M Volvo 440 2.0i GLT Tax and MOT until April 2011 (would get another MOT today) Just over 126k miles (little over 8k miles pa) Full official Volvo service history to 2003. My family work at a main dealer so from then I have had the work done there but the book runs out of space at 100k! Replacement gearbox and clutch in 2006 The specification:- 2.0 petrol, fuel injected engine, giving me 34.8mpg average at the moment. On a run over 40mpg. ABS Air conditioning Heated front seats Info centre (fuel consumption, temps etc) Half leather interior Power steering 15" 5 spoke alloys with Toyo Proxes T1R tyres (good tread) Electric tilt and slide sunroof Electric windows all round Remote central locking Single slot Panasonic CD player (actually got some JL audio TR speakers in front doors too!), with an OEM RF modulator CD changer The car has been hugely reliable with the only glitch being when the gearbox went and when an aftermarket immobiliser became faulty (now removed). Known points:- When not started for a day or two it occasionally gets lumpy on acceleration for the first half mile Occasional higher than average idle (little over 1k) Scuff on OSR bumper Rust bubble on OSF wing NSR door central locking not working Intermittent starter motor issue - not had time to investigate Overall the paintwork is very good (see the pictures) with a few spots of lacquer wearing and general wear and tear dings. I have no idea how much it is worth to someone - so starting at £550 ono. Now £300 ono!!!

I had a Volvo as an SQ sound off show and competition car!
