I stopped seein a great condition zt 190 being out onto a tow truck and asked the guy how much they have him for it £150 he said so I offered him £250 and the salvage guy said it was his now it was on the truck!
Everything was great about it in good knick but he said the engine lost its oil! I'd have had it in bits!
Worth nothing apparently cars

I just think Mk1's look a bit dated.

Sadly, my wife is making me raise the money for the car first before buying it, so it looks like I'm going to have to wait until the TF is sold. She's scared that I'll never sell the ZS/TF and the money will never get put back, which is understandable.

So instead of buzzing of having a looks at a car at the weekend, I'm going to be taking the timing belt off the ZS and hopefully putting it right.

Apparently, the timing belt must have jumped a tooth, so when I take the covers off and have good access to the belts, the white marks on the belt shouldn't line on somewhere. If the marks do line up, then the timing will have been done wrong and it won't of jumped.

If I can sort the timing, I'll buy some car mats for inside, replace the backbox and give it a good clean/polish.

Hopefully then I shouldn't have any problem selling it. I may even take it to the bodyshop where I took the TF and see what he can do with the door/chips down one side.
