Picked up the car this morning, started fine and left it to run and get upto temp before driving off. All seems fine, although the gearshift feels a little looser than on the ZS-I wonder if the Zed uses a different shift-like a Qwikshift on a Mini?
Plenty of scrapes and scratches were the previous (elderly) owner got into a few dings but with some effort 99% of them have come out. I still don't have the internet at home, I will try and get some pics up ASAP.
Inside has cleaned up pretty well, the Rover CD player works and sounds pretty good, the seats feel much higher than in a ZS and nowhere near as supportive! The electric sunroof is a nice touch!
I think the heater resistor needs sorting, the heater blows on 2,3 and 4 but doesn't work on 1! It's got about 40 foot of cable in the boot for the 3rd party reversing sensors (which are whisper quiet!) so I need to bin them! There's a small crack on the back bumper too.
So, a few little jobs to do, not a bad start!
