well my Zed failed it's mot at the weekend looking at maybe a grand to get it thru (welding ,tyres,few bushes some brake pipes) was thinkin bout buying another one, had a look at a fresh '91 tt import and a '91 UK tt manual, But I'm thinking I'd rather spend the money on my own cos I no wots wrong with it the engine's a good un doesn't burn oil an never had any probs with the auto box,or do think I'm wrong.

Repair it mate, chances are the other two you've been looking at will also need welding/work etc (especially the UK one!) :)

Tyres, bushes and arguably brake lines are just wear and tear - you need to decide whether the welding indicates the beginning of the end... where's the welding needed?

 

If you don't get it fixed 100% you are just delaying the inevitable... if you can, get it up on a ramp and look EVERYWHERE - and be realistic and detached!!

welding's usual place rear inner cills but gonna get the area around the struts done as well didn't fail on strut rust this year if i'm gonna do it will be everything including a couple of advisorys don't wanna buy another one an be in the same situation a couple of years down the line

repair it, better the devil you know.. lol

Yep better the devil you know.

Got my motor back from zedworld weekend gone ,had the same problem TIN WORM(sorted now thanks to Jeff and Co),like the guys are saying better the devil you know, if the engines sweet keep it.

repair it if the car is good in every other way

Cheers guys like you say better the devil you know, got it ova the pit this mornin all I could see was a bit of rust on the outer cill near the sub frame mounts bout the size of a 2 pound coin failure sheet said excessive rust. Cars booked in with Zedworld for all the mot and advisory work to be done along with a 60 thousand mile service an a few other bits an pieces.:D
