On to my 4th ZT - any history on here?

savvy · 21st February 2018, 13:30

Hi all

Fourth ZT purchase. First ZT-T

Seems a very well spec’d 04 preface in silver. Auto, FBH, electric leather sports seats, tv gps unit, sunroof, cruise etc

Picking up Saturday but wondering if it had any history or known here. Reg RE04RZZ

Or if someone call pull off the spec data for me. I don’t know the VIN yet.

Also uncertain if 115 or 135. Conflicting info on car reg check sites.

Thank you

You'll need the VIN for the build data.

See https://www.check-mot.service.gov.uk/ for MOT history.

Got the VIN and build data - is a 135 which is bonus. Build spec confirms it came
With the electric sports leather too, so all factory which is good.

Collecting tomorrow morning which I’m mildly excited about to say the least.

Collected on Saturday and really quite impressed. First cdti auto but drives really well.
Needs a few things: intercooler o rings, sunroof drains clearing, in-line stat, full service, radio antenna needs attention, xenons flicker but probably an earth issue. Cosmetics; wheels could be a bit tidier, rear bumper and bonnet not perfect.
Nothing serious and all quite good fun to tinker with. No one likes to buy a car with nothing to tinker with, right?

I can't see the pics (using Chrome).

My second ZT was a CDTi auto (also well specced like yours). IMO it's a better combo that the diesel manual.

With the xenons, check the wiring beneath the OS headlight as it can chaff on a chassis seam.

With the radio reception, the radio module is in the spare wheel well and are prone to damage from water ingress. The antenna itself is built into the rear screen element so you'll have to remove the c-pillar trims and have a look at the filter/amp.
