Mk1 TB ZS180 - Now sold.
 

Gauging interest really.

Thinking of selling the ZS180. I'm now cycling to work to kick-start the old ticker so it's currently sorn, although it has a MOT until May '14 (will confirm).

Force air feed intake which sounds great
Stupidly large rear silencer, which also sounds good
Oil catch tank fitted
VIS motors working!
CD Player with USB & MP3 input (woooo!)
Body work in very good condition, with a few "trolley dinks". Could do with a new grill, as someone tried to steal it!
Has a very intermittant misfire when hot. The head gasket has NOT gone!
She drives really well, no knocks or bangs at all.
Everything I have ever done on the car is on this forum, so feel free to have a search.

The car would make an ideal T16 conversion, I would even throw in a decent turbo bottom end & head for free :beer2:

Got to be worth £600 of someones money? :group:

I'm located on the south coast, 7 miles south of Chichester, so feel free to come & have a look.

Well worth the money imo. Steal.

Clean looking motor, good luck with the sale.

:wave::wave::wave:

Great looking motor, and a proper bargain! Good Luck!

Thanks chaps. I'm still undecided really to be honest. I love the car as it does make me grin. It's just weighing up the pro's & cons really. No way on earth will she be broken, I will keep her if there is no interest :soldiers:

clean looking car,should sell at that price mick,good luck with the sale

I hate how you can buy a car like that for the price of a set of tyres. looks stunning, you (your students) certainly take care of it lol

Quick update:

The car has sat for 2 weeks without being touched. Went out to her this morning, fired up no worries with the first flick of the key. Ran up to temp, held revs at approx 3-4000 rpm for 10 mins. Both fans kicked in, no overheating & cooling system working as it should. Revved engine up & down, all smooth with no misfire. Let engine idle for a further 10 mins. Revved engine again to around 4000 rpm & she cut out. Started straight away & ran fine. It did this once more over a period of an hour.

I'm thinking cam or crank sensor.

Not sure whether to keep her, or whack it up for £600.

Arrrrrrrgh!!!

Stick a code reader on it maybe.

Yup, will be stealing the one from work Monday!

Any news on this Mick?

and ... have you still got the vis tester .... ?

Hi guys. Car is currently on the bay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1711167792...84.m1555.l2649

Apologies ref the VIS tester. Was meant to post last Friday but have been weighed down with new students. I am free all day tomorrow so will get it done then, shouldn't really be on here now!

Un-sure what car to purchase next...

It's going well Mick !

I was half tempted myself being as it's in better nick than mine !

OT, whats happening with yours Dan ?

Just ordered rear discs... Wheels and center caps are done, ect is being sent off next week, some err welding. Being done next weekend, then on the road end of October... Unless Mick wants to swap a ti for that blue zs lol, then I would transfere the lot to his and sell or scrap the one I have !

The err welding bit sounds worrying lol

Doesn't it just... I have not uploaded pics of it for obvious reasons untill it's done, but it ain't good, put a damper on the whole project really, spent enough on it now only to find significant rust in areas you perhaps would not expect... My father in law is a really good welder though, he will sort it with a good new section etc, but then the body work is still crap too, I gave up and taxed my ti again this month on the basis the zs just was not ready, or up to scratch.

But now I'm only planning on running the zs for a couple of years due to it's condition, which is a real shame after the time, money and effort involved.

The only other option is to save and find a nice one, in good nick, and I have all the rest, from ball joints, to cv joints, rad, engine, pipes etc etc... Dunno.

Micks would be just the ticket, but it's more money again, and like I said, I have spent enough, the only way I could do it would be to sell the ti for an ok price and scrap the current zs..

Sorry for the hijack Mick lol.

Apologies to Mick for taking your thread ot :laugh:

Carry on fella's!

Didn't know you still had the Ti!

Auctions going well, already higher than your original expected price. I always find the last 5 minutes the most interesting. Will be watching :look:

Hmmm...


No contact from buyer yet.........

Let me know if you get mucked about matey...

Still nowt. Why do Frickin people bid on things & not make contact?!

Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2

The scourge of ebay, non paying buyers seems to be very common now.

thats a shame as it was a very honest advert,you deserve better than that mick,hope the buyer gets in touch

Annoys me. Could have passed the car off as is & not mentioned anything, however my conscience wouldn't hack it.

Honesty is the best policy& all that.

What a ball ache, I had someone of RT bid on my stuff, then not pay, then when I looked more closely at his f/b it turned out he was a serial non payer.

No mate, you can claim them back. Pain in the ass, but you'll get them back.

Sold loads of stuff on there recently and without it I'd be taking stuff to the tip instead of planning whether to buy speakers, exhaust, or get a refurb.

I need to be doing that... Got loads of crap in the garage that is only going to get binned if I don't sell some of it.

Unbelievable the amount of bloody time wasters on Ebay!!!

To quote Dan.........."EBay sucks...."

Really dont want to give the car away, however I may have no choice! She's been sitting for a few months now & is just not getting used :sad:

im soo tempted to buy this just for some of the bits off it to tidy mine up a bit:unsure:
seems a expensive way to get some tidy bumpers tho lol

£500 will get it!
