well, the clattery, noisy, rattley ride has gone. Shame that a car that had only done 64K miles was so difficult to live with.... still, I traded her in for a 75 Tourer which is more practical for me now anyway, plus the ride is superb

Thanks to all that helped me here and there

Bye :wave:

you don't have to leave, I doubt the 75 forum will be as nice as this place.

Great guys over on the 75 & ZT Forum.

Gone to a few of their meets and are always treated well and made to feel at home.

Hope the new car is easier to live with and goes well.

What a nice bunch you lot are!

I agree the 75 forum is great, lots of knowledge and very quick to offer help!

I got a CDT tourer 2003. I think it is a club, but it has Xenon and intelligence packs so tonnes of extras - cruise control - auto dimming mirror - parking sensors - headlight washers - blaupunkt stereo, which is noticeably better reception than my ZS. I think I would like the fuel burning heater if it can be retro fitted!

ATM not that economical even for an auto, but I need to change the intercooler rings which I think will help!

I will keep an eye on things here and if my very limited knowledge of the Zed comes in useful then all good

:D

Great day out.

I wouldn't mind one of those fuel burning heaters - if you find out if it CAN be retro-fitted, it would be great if you could let us know. It would be lovely to be able to remote operate it in the dead of Winter and then get into a pre-warmed car.

Anyway good luck with it.

It was Portland Castle, one of those built by Henry the V111, to protect the ports.

Weymouth is just underneath the Castle.

Was a good day out.

75 & ZT had special permission to park inside the courtyard.

Is a big car park just outside the walls.

Been to Weymouth and Portland loads of times, but first time we have been round the Fort. Lucky we put the post code into sat nav, I would have gone to the fort at the bottom of Portland!! This one was just the other side of Weymouth Quay.

Well worth a visit if you are down this way.
