From picking up the keys to putting them down again was 55 minutes, and that included pouring the used oil out of the oil drain can into an empty can to measure the volume and to take to the tip.
I was surprised how thin the old oil was, although it was as black as expected.
I got out 1.8 litres so was defiantly due to be topped up.

The above needs clarification - that was changing the gearbox oil.
The gearbox is much quieter now and more willing to go in to first and reverse, not perfect but better.
And in preparation of going to Spain tomorrow I popped into the local Kwik fit and got the A/C topped up, only to hear about the terrorism in Barcelona where we are heading later next week - thoughts with all those involved.

Sad day today - I made a 375 faultless mile round trip in FE54 to buy her replacement, my ten years in ZS's is coming to an end.

What did you get instead? Sad to see her go, I still miss that car, but sometimes needs must

I've gone for an Alfa Romeo 159 but won't pick it up until mid April.
The ZS needs some TLC but I don't really have the time with the F and the Maestro.
I do have one person interested in FE54 but it may well be advertised once the Alfa arrives.
Mrs TC's ZR will also be going.

Sounds like a nice change. Sometimes we need them.

Hope the new car gives you as much joys as the Zs has over the past 10 years

I hope so too but I do still have two F's and a T16 maestro to play with.
