Phate is an unknown quantity at this point
Anyone here in North Yorkshire or near there?

Fancy doing me a favour?

I'm looking at this - http://pistonheads.com/sales/805176.htm

Long and short of it is my chassis is twisted from the accident and even though it drives without any issues I'd rather have a car with a straight one.

It says FSH if this is true the cambelts should be done - if this is the case I'm very interested in going to look at it.

If all is well would someone who is closer than me (240miles away) mind having a look at it for me to confirm it's worth going to have a butchers at it?

Many Thanks,
Jake

Your right, could be off for any reason though. I've got mine on my car so its not much of an issue. Providing it is actually a 180 lol.

If mine had sold .... would sell .... I was gonna have a look at this...

http://pistonheads.com/sales/820180.htm

It's closer for me, (us), and looks mint with a stainless exhaust and the recent service should be the belts. He'd take the same for it I bet.

or this...
http://pistonheads.com/sales/814845.htm

Higher miles but looks good and as above, just serviced. Even cheaper !



My God do I wish I had the cash in the kitchen to go out ..... Buyers market.

Cambelts service from EMS will cost me £650 - or thereabouts. When I spoke to him on the phone he said with every service he had the tensioners checked and said that they are good for until the 90k mark - I explained they are due to be done and he was like "do you even own a ZS? How much do you know?"

I couldn't help but laugh
