First things first - I'm delighted with the car and it will serve me well I'm sure.

Maybe you can help me out with that DVD player in the roof ... ? Is it fubarred or got any power ?

It does have some bits to get sorted though - thought it'd be faster so will be checking the vis motors or putting it on the rollers. Clutch squeeks something awful so need to have a look at that - hopefully some WD40 in the right place will get that sorted. Steering wheel is worn to buggery so will try and source one in decent condition.

After that really all she needs is some bodywork getting looked at - the side grills don't match, which might be something for later although the rusting near the windscreen is a bit worse than I'd expected and then just a couple of little dings to make it a proper show-stopper.

Now - if only I knew a guy who had some family connections in the bodywork trade and loves the ZS ..... :hmmm: ..... ;)

I was too slow on this one. Glad it's found a new home on the forum though.

Fair point - however - I am 100% confident this car won't be for sale for a very long time .... ;)

that could be the Clevis pin on the pedal. Sometimes just giving it a turn with the pliers is enough to quieten it down temporarily. If you can get some Grease on it should get rid of it altogether. There's a lot of TF wheels on that auction site ATM.

This is what put me off. Not the end of the world but could be pain to get done right. Hopefully it's not as bad as it looks and there's plenty of good metal under the blistering, maybe get the roof painted gloss black to tie in with the spoiler?
