ZS TD project

It's been 4 years since I updated this thread!
Upon our return from the road trip in 2015 I thought there were a few "niggles" to sort with the car. A proper strip down revealed a bit more work than that was needed! So much so in fact that the sensible thing to do would have been to scrap it. Being a sentimental old fool, that was never going to happen.
So, after lots and lots of work (which I will try to document with pictures at some point), 4 years later she was back in action.
I've done less than 100 miles in her since the full rebuild but just had to get her on the dyno.

On well used SDI injectors and a "max fuel" map she pulled a healthy 203HP / 373Nm.

Can update the spec list if needed.

Sounds like me and my MGF - we returned from Rome in June 2016 needing to replace a holed wishbone, 3 years later, a scraped TF and more money than the car is really worth and she is now back on the road supported on TF running gear.

At least you got an upgrade out of it! I just bury my head in the sand when it comes to money spent vs what these cars are worth. Logic doesn't come into the equation anymore haha.

200+ bhp L series?

Wouldn't mind seeing the complete spec list for those mods that got you those gains? + price of parts.
