I did mate, thanks. The gearbox is only a few miles up the road - cheaper the postage...

Hi Adam

Found a few zeds being broken on eBay that may help:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MG-ZS-1-8-...item3ccbcfc605

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/mg-zs-5doo...item19d60c3ea3

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MG-ZS-Pass...item33791b0ae7

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/mgzs-180-v...item564dc82f26

Also a fair few 45s being broken

http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_od...aking&_sacat=0

Shocked at how many are being broken for minor issues, if they were worth more running I'd be tempted to start a sideline buying 'dwad' cars and getting them back on the road.

Thats the trouble, worth more for the bits than a up and running one.

I should have a bumper and wing shortly that you can have. Would just be a case of getting it to you.

Well I got my gearbox yesterday, so that's lightened my mood quite a bit!

In MNX Platinum silver? I'd come and collect, to be honest! You're not a million miles away from me...

Cars can get you down, I've been there myself many times! Once you get the bits you need it's a case of finding the mental energy to do it, then all's good.

Thanks for the gee-up, Stamford! I'm feeling a lot better about the car now I've got the box sorted. Just need to find a linkage now. Just typical of a bloody ZS - they get under your skin!

Well I have just got mine out of its boxed in parking bay on the drive, covered in dirt and cat paws! Will give it a clean and fill the tank up as it's going to be used next week as the Landys turbo hose has blown and sounds bad. Good job it is MOTd and taxed! A few weeks back it wasn't loved so know the feeling!

Well I managed to find a local scrappy with a MNX ZS today, sadly most of the panels were no good, but I did get a grille for £10.
