Brian, it's not what is wanted, it's how it came to pass within the same day. The major problem it appears is the oil leak on the engine and the fuel danger. To me, that's going to take several hours to sort, and yes, maybe the tests were seperated by hours, but time consuming resolutions.

Just my thoughts.

The only worry for me would be the loose shock bolt, worst case it will have damaged the threads in the hub, if I were going to get it I’d be taking a M14 tap and cleaning the threads before trying to refit a bolt.

Are they a good buy Brian ? I am either wanting the 75 Tourer or a ZT-T in your opinion which is best ?

Well this one is my least favourite colour, coupled with my least favourite transmission Neil.

It is cheap though

Thanks Brian, i will keep looking for the right car, i have found a ZT-T near Peterlee but the paintwork is really bad plus the clutch master cylinder has gone south so waiting for that to be replaced before i actually get to drive the car, there seems to be a few good cars for sale but i would say 95% of them seem to be down south
i will hopefully be at Walworth on Sunday so i will come and say hello, what car will you be in ?

Default Observations

Planenut has pointed out that last December a long list of defects were apparently repaired within a day and an MOT pass was granted.
If you look at the MOT history, exactly the same thing has happened every year since 2014.
There was obviously no delay in ordering parts.

The rear seats have clearly had a lot of use. Hmmmm. Is anyone else thinking what I'm thinking?

I would avoid this one Neil, however cheap it is.

Simon

"Leather Upholstery, Cloth Upholstery"

So....which one is it?

Also, no sat nav even though it's advertised as having it.

Right.
I have deleted two posts made by two very experienced members.
You know the rules guys, but let's sum it up by saying this.
If you can't say anything positive about one another, don't say it at all.

It's a gorgeous evening here in Ayrshire. I'm trying to do some pre POL fettling. The last thing I need or want is to have to spend the evening cleaning up after yous.


Right back to the primer talic

You will easily recognise Brian Neil, if its cold, the rest of us will have jumpers and coats on, Brian will be the one with just a t shirt on.
