It's running fine today, although I think it's a clutch problem. It definatly feels different. When you take your foot off it, it doesn't spring straight back up. I'm giving it to the garage next week to see if its a easy fix, if not then it may well be the end. I did notice that putting the ignition on the first setting, the battery, oil and engine management light are on but go out when the car is started. Is that normal?
I admit its had problems but people I know with 'premium' cars have suffered much worse. Only major issues were the head gasket (changed to the the MLS gasket) and the cam shaft last year. Apart from that, it's just had the usual ZS niggles but I still love it! 8 years, 80000 miles, 3 track days and numerous trips to BTCC events! I will miss it.
