Reason I ask is mine has the MK1 at the moment and Ive had to addapt the Hazard lights switch to work and my fogs dont stay on unless finger is kept on button so just wondered if you used MK2 would that resolve these things ?
Also boot release has to be done from inside car as fob button on MK1 doesnt have this function. little probs but I would like to sort them.
Mine is all mk2 equipment mate, everything works as it should too.

Engine and all the gubbins came from a MK1 ZR Express, it was too good an offer to pass up at the time, had the 1.6 engine in it first with Fast road cams,Z&F remap induction and other mods and I thougfht it went quite well - Untill the 160 was put in
and now it's a great balance of lightweight engine with a good bit of get up and go.

Fair enough, cant complain if the price was right.

I'm loving the 160 power in the ZS, can't wait to start the power mods next year.

I'm thinking the same ZS105 feels a bit gutless. VVC transplant might be an amusing project for next year
