MickUK is on a distinguished road
Lightbulb The plan...

As some of you know, my ZS 180 over the last week has had some issues with the cooling system. After doing some research on this forum & the XPower forum, i'm a bit sceptical of the vehicles history/treatment.

Bearing this in mind, after christmas i've decided to source an engine & at my leisure, rebuild it. At least then i'll be safe in the knowledge that I know what i'm driving! Then, rebuild the original lump out of mine.

I'll also be on the lookout for mild performance parts when rebuilding

There will of course be a thread started dedicated to this.

I like the idea, I'd try and make sure you source a V6 out of another zs, the zt and Freelander seem to be more prone to hgf for some reason
