So my ZS is going away with its new owner tomoz (:() so I decided to go outside and get it all ready and cleaned up. I thought I'd take it for a spin to charge the battery as its been sat for about a month and a half.

Oh how I wish I didn't... Even tho it's playing up, I loved every single second of my drive round the block and now I really really don't want it to go... I know I'm gonna miss my Zed sooo much, but now it means I can have a look thru the classifieds and get another :D

But what ever I get will never feel the same as my Zed :(

Especially as the one on the left is what's replaced it :sick:

It's jump leads, and yes, they will do the same job as the rope :)

And in my defence, the Scenic was given to me coz the ZS broke on me again and I was given pity lol I just can't afford to spend more on the Zed :(

I actually quite like it but theres not much competition between that and the zs in the looks department.

And don't knock free renaults, my sister gave me their espace when he got a company car, mind you it was a 2.9L V6...................

This is my eBay ad:

Selling due to having a bigger car and have no need for this one, much to my disappointment.

It is a mk2, comes in Ignition Blue, and also has the sought after ‘Extreme’ rear spoiler.

It has done 135,751 miles and has recently had the head gasket replaced. It has 16” ‘Hairpin’ wheels, although at the moment it has the space saver on as I recently had a split in the side wall of the N/S/F. I also have a new steering wheel and gearknob to replace the slightly worn ones currently on there.

As with any used car, there are some bad points. The main one being for some reason it is hesitant to go above about 4500/5000rpm and feels sluggish up to that. It has only been like that since the head gasket was changed (which was less than two months ago). I’m sure it is an easy fix, but I no longer have the time or money to find the problem. There is also a slight water leak, which I think is related to the sluggishness problem. Again, unfortunately I no longer have the time or money to find and repair it.
The rear passenger door lock only works on the pin, rather than with the fob. It’s just a case of reaching in to lock/unlock the door. It’s never really bothered me, hence why I’ve not changed it. There is also a blow at the end of the centre section of the exhaust.

Otherwise the car is in pretty good condition. Despite the problems listed above, it is still driveable, and will take you where ever you need to go. It has good quality standard speakers, plus I’ll leave my twin 10” sub-box and wiring in, but it will not come with a headunit. The interior, minus the steering wheel and gearknob, is in great condition, although the blower works only on setting 3 and 4, which is a common problem and an easy fix. The tax has run out, but the MOT runs out in June IIRC, but I will find out for definite and amend accordingly.

I’ve tried to be as honest as I can be, although if you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

I’m based in Southampton (SO15). You are bidding to buy, not to look or mess me around. Anyone that does so will be reported to eBay. Any bidders with less than 5/negative feedback please message me first.

A £100 deposit would be needed within 3 days and the car collected within 7days unless an agreement is made.

Thank you for viewing and happy bidding!!!
