Think the derv clutch is a different set up than a 180, my one is a bit heavy, on 74K and still going OK.

Worked with mine, always wanted a ZS when married. Once divorced paid off debts and bought my ZS180. First time the ex saw it, all she said was "its yellow"........

After all the palava on here ive decided to sorn the ZS and stick it into storage at the end of the month

My dad has kindly insured me on his car at no extra cost to myself so thats a massive saving......

Here comes Rover 25 motoring TBH i dont drive a car that much so im not fussed

Hopefully i shall get my tax back sometime within the next few months so with that money im gonna buy sommat cheap to tootle around in

yeh was a help

i think soon the mk2 zs will become a collectors car like the old mgb's etc

too nice a car to get rid off for so little financial gain

how do i claim remaning tax back???

Can get a form from the post office, have to glue your old tax disk onto the form and send it in.

Should have done it in Dec as its clear months only for a refund, dont know if you went into your local DVLO might be kind and let you have Jan back if you took the disk in there first thing on the 2/1/11

If it is purely down to running costs then go for it because you will notice a huge difference. I had a 2.5L BMW E46 but had to change her due to running costs. I can honestly say my ZSTD is the best TD i have ever owned and i have had a couple of different makes in the past. I do miss my 2.5L but the performance and running cost of my ZSTD does put a smile on my face plus there are mods you can do to upgrade that performance without effecting mpg a huge amount. Only major issue i had with her was the downpipe had disconected itself from the engine due to rusting, replaced that with a stainless steel pipe and also de-cat what a difference. Good luck finding one if you decide to go ahead they do seem to be in short supply.

the derv doesn't suffer from the same issue with the hydraulics failing unless you are lucky.

the different slave cylinder mounting doesn't seem to have the same stresses going through it as the 180, and as such it is all ok.

stick a Helix paddle clutch on it, and you do have the same issues tho
