Welcome matey :)

Welcome to the club mate, and as said ...get some pics of your new lady up :)

Hello and welcome, im new here myself, but it seems like the place to be :)

Welcome Harby:thumbup1:

Welcome to the club, questions are always good, especially if they are silly - saves me asking them later!

No such thing as a silly question with the Z, nothing is all that obvious and if it seems like it is, you've probably misunderstood, lol.

Thanks All,

 

Pictures to follow shortly.

 

Took her out today for the first time in the rain, pushed a little too hard and found her sidewards:scared::scared:

 

First job, fixing the central locking complete. Now onto the drivers side window..

Hope this works.. A pic of my Zed....

Hi Harby,

 

Nice looking motor - definitely the best colour for a zed :whistling:

 

I think black zeds with the rear windows tinted black look particularly amazing, though I can't think why!

 

I like the wheels too. I had a look at a car in birmingham with wheels like yours - tell me, does your car have 6x9's in the doors? And are they a different colour on each side?? Just wondering..

 

Is it manual or auto?

Hi Mate,

 

Thanks and I agree totally with your colour comments..:yes:

 

Its a manual, I love auto cars and dont buy manuals anymore, but this is a toy and it jut had to be..

 

excuse the ignorance.. 6x9's in the doors? what do you mean??:blush::blush:

Speakers! The car I looked at was the same as yours, but it didn't have a spoiler on the back. I was thinking it might be the same car though as those wheels are pretty distinctive and not very common.

 

The only thing I can remember about the car (other than the colour and the wheels) was that it had a cloth interior with with 6x9 speakers in the doors!

Could be the one, sounds about the right size although havent measured them. I bought it from a lad in Nottingham. I know he hadnt had it long, said he bought it from a dealer. Now off to Oz so had to get rid..

 

you didnt buy the car and seem clued up, did you see any problems with it? if you can remember..

 

ive done some superficial bits, need to get the belts done. dont fancy doing it myself and most garages not keen on doing it...

 

I liked the wheels as different but not everybodys taste....

:lol: thanks, but that's not actually the case! Like many people, I talk a lot but actually know fook all! I am trying to learn though!

 

Regarding the car, I didn't even take it for a test drive (which was pretty stupid). I'd already looked at a few other zeds and for the money the dealer in Birmingham was asking the car should have been a minter (4.5k about 18months ago). It wasn't shabby, the engine seemed smooth and the body straight - it was just the little things that bothered me. The biggest reason why I didn't buy it was because of the dealer. He fooked me about for 5 hrs - he told me to come at 11am and the car didn't turn up til 5pm. Not only that, but another guy on the forum (tescobag - username) was there and the dealer told me I couldn't buy it until the other guy had test driven it? WTF? Have you ever heard a dealer telling you, you can't buy the car? I mean really, some people - FFS!

 

If the car was perfect then I would have bought it, but it wasn't as described and I was looking for a reason not to buy it! Doesn't mean you've got a lemon though. I like the wheels!

Definately not immaculate and not worth any where near that price.. Bought it to learn more.. Hope I havent bit off more than I can chew..lol

The lad I bought it off had it serviced, new skirts, spoiler and front valance then decided to go to Oz..

You do worry though until its had a good check over!!!

 

Had the same issues with a dealer Myself. went to Bradford to look at a car still advertised on piston heads. it was 5495, I went with My Missus for a second look and negotiated it to 4150.. Absolutely loved the car, few things needed doing but really good condition. Went to discuss with my Wife, went back within 10 mins and said I love it Id like to put a deposit on it.. He said no... you walked away, deal was there and then... W*nker..... Obviously not meant to be...

 

What did you buy in the end in? I know its black, with back window tints.. deffo the best colour... I personally think cream leather looks great in them???

Forget the last question Bud.. figured out how to see the detail on your profile..

 

Mint motor Mate!!!!!!!!!!
