Hi

 

I am going to view a Zed tomorrow and have been told that the following small problems require attention.

1. Air Con compressor is seized

2. Electric aerial doesn't extend/retract

3. Front bumper lightly scraped at bottom

4. Passenger mirror glass "drooping"

 

How easy and what cost would the above work entail??

 

The car is a 1990, N/A, Targa Top, Manual with 52,000 miles on it.

Imported 4 years ago with Full UK SH,

 

Any other checks to carry out or things to look out for ?????

 

Cheers

how much does he want for it?

How does it all sound??

Hi

 

I am going to view a Zed tomorrow and have been told that the following small problems require attention.

1. Air Con compressor is seized - cant be fixed, second hand 60-80

2. Electric aerial doesn't extend/retract- usually rusted, might be able to free with a bit of wd40

3. Front bumper lightly scraped at bottom

4. Passenger mirror glass "drooping"

Also have a look in the FAQ section for the buyers guide

£2750- Blimey- that sounds like a bargain. When I was looking it was hard to get anyting under 3.5k Ended up trading in my QX working out about 4k.

 

What you got there shouldnt take anymore than a few hundred quid to fix so looks like a good deal.

Its what I should have looked at before buying mine, but I'm getting there slowly.

The biggest cost is going to be the air con compressor. About 80quid s/hand plus fitting and regas, about 150. Why are you looking for an N/A, you know you want a TT. Insurance are the same N/A TT it don`t matter.

 

cheerz, mickey

tt all the way, you know it makes sense :D

Whole electric aerial unit cost me less than £50 from AndyZ in the traders section last year, fitting is DIY and pretty simple :) Could be the wiring to it though.

Air con Compressor Here

 

There you go, one problem sorted already :D

Cheers Dave for the free advertising- I gotta sell that asap to help pay for those wheels that are turning up on Sat ;)

I bought an NA which has turned out to have a similar fault with the aircon. Was so impressed with the condition of the rest of the car I didn't notice the missing belt! :rolleyes: Anyway, have just had a second hand compressor fitted and hoping to get it gassed up at the weekend. Got the compressor at a nice price from a member of this forum breaking his car, cheap enough to fit as I was having major work done anyway.

 

On the whole I would say that looks like a good price if your are happy with the service history. My biggest expense has been a timing belt kit from the states and getting it fitted along with a full service. Has yours had a timing belt service done?

 

As for the NA/TT debate, I've loved both my NAs. Sometimes wish I had a bit more power but on the whole I'm happy enough with the performance and more than happy with the looks of mine :)

Look in the for sale section. DixonJohn is selling his NA.
