Any one know this ZS

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1807559186...84.m1423.l2649

Alright people im concidering buying this car. colours nice imo. and I think with some standard rear lights and a propper clean could be a nice motor.

the clutch goes all the way to the floor and the garage said they are going to fit a new one before its sale. been doing abit off reserch and i think it might be the hydralics as this is a comman fault on these cars!?

not alot of history also read that this model cam belts are recomended before 90k so should be alright..

anything else i should look out for when i go for the test drive once the clutch has been fixed?

Cheers

Colour wise not my cup of tea...

Belts are 90K or 6 years so if they have not been done they need doing!

check out the buying guide on here and you wont go far wrong

Oh, that car has been for sale for at least 3 months so there is a deal to be had i'm sure!

Good luck

Its worth £500.00.

Its got no proof of belts, and belts need doing either at 90k or 6 years which ever is sooner. Yes clutch hydraulics can be an issue but it maybe an underlying problem with the clutch fork causing premature hydraulics failure.

Also if i remember rightly, this car has been painted to look typhoon and it isnt an original factory paint job.

Typhoon is contemplating selling his car, and that has been well looked after and maintained.

Typhoon also is known as Steve Cleenz on this site. Give him a shout.

They are certainly using the same pictures as the for sale ad for this car months ago either that or it still has not been washed haha. Also am sure it is the same name for the seller

Again a car with that picture has been for sale forever. There is a thread some where on here that comments on the trader not even bothering to give it a wash before sale

I did pop down there as its not too far, the car is dirty looks like it has not been moved in a wile. there is no presure in the clutch.

The guy in the show room said as one of the workers was driving it the clutch died. They only have one mechanic and he has alot of work on hence its taken a wile to be repaird.
he did say that hes going to start it next week and when its ready he guarantees it drives spot on but who knows
