Just Not Feeling The Love

Apart from those who have never experienced it and who continue to repeat the same old myth's about reliability.

Not aimed at you Peter btw

It does seem a good unit when all is ok, as stated earlier in the thread... My issue is that its just one thing after another with this car...

I have today found yet another issue, which could mean the end of the road...

I am sure that they can be brilliant, but to be honest with you its the last K series I will own for a good while. Certainly not as a day to day car anyway...

All cars cost money one way or the other and when it is a secondhand car, you probably have to put right a previous owner's failings. However, once sorted, with help from the specialists on here, you will have a good car, that will last for years with a bit of regular maintenance.

You will get a better car for the money, if you opt for a lower spec model (less desirable).

Hi Mate...

We shall see where we go next I guess... I am not a newbie with these cars and know the pro's and cons of most models now...

If I were to go for another it would probably be a diesel....

Just give it a few months mate, if you still feel the same then sell it. Don't make any rash decisions that you may regret.
I know how you feel, I had a ZR that went through a problematic, and expensive, period. Felt like touching the ****** thing, but I didn't. And it turned out to be one of the best cars I've ever had.
So chin up pal, it'll all come good :-)

Its been on my mind for a little while mate, I have carried on fixing it hoping that it would improve and the feeling of enjoyment would arrive...

Unfortunately, the issue found today may mean a decision has to be made sooner than I thought... I will get it checked over and see what the result is....

I feel the same about my current ZTT - it needs a fair bit of work, and I've only had it a few months.
I'm currently pottering around in a ZS180 and it's lovely having the extra power, however I do miss the ZTT.

I know I won't be able to give up my cruise control on the massive loadspace of the Tourer.

What's up with it now Pete?

Such a shame when they turn out to be a pain in the a***! I have had a v6 connie se 19k mile'er-nice; then got zt-t diesel auto-brilliant with a tuning box on it-I kept looking at other stuff and came to the conclusion that I would only get some-thing "better" if I was to put another load of ££--it got written of recently I was very ticked of about -so got myself a connie se cdit auto with 80k on it-got it phil-t ed 160ed-and guess what Brilliant!!

The Moral of the Story - There is nothing better out there for the £££

Suspect oil leak. Not liking the look of where it's coming from either.

Will get it checked out and see what's said. Guess I will take it from there.

The Flying Banana has made it to 135,000. Yes she's been a pain but she is great to drive and I love her to bits. Try and stick with it Pete, I know it ain't easy, but you'll get there.

Of course you could always get a V8.

I think that must be the only version of the 75 / zt that Pete hasn't had yet........
So Pete when's the v8 due in (not the jeep version thus time) hahaha

Correct... The V8 is the only one I have not owned...

Beginning to wish I had bought one.... I reckon it would of been cheaper in the long run
