Has it been reliable? Mine has so far. Failed clutch slave cylinder and not tightening the battery terminals properly have been my only non-starts (oh, and snow!!) And I use it every day and have put 16,000 miles on it in a year!!!!

1 Year a total of 600 miles :mac1:

Im not answering cus that will be the kiss of death for it..... :x:

2nd pair of turbos in 8,000 miles and second engine too, apart from that its not bad :cry: :cry:

New auto 'box after 3 weeks, new prop shaft bearing at same time, coil pack connectors shortly after, new exhaust needed...

 

The list goes on, but, I blame the tw*t that sold it to me rather than the car itself ;)

 

Still love it to bits, just makes it easier to relieve myself of hard earned cash. :slap:

:eek:

60k service due, so have let the MOT run out and taken her off the road for now.

 

Also lots of goodies to fit :D

Engine rebuild after 1 year (Head gasket).

Six months later manwell conversion, autobox died.

2 weeks after that, PTU.

New calipers & disks.

two months ago new Alarm, old one immobilsed at random!

now needs new prop and camber kit.

 

Nice n reliable, less than 15000 miles in three years covered.

 

Can't be arsed, going on holiday!

:dance:

I guess nearly 20,000 miles, she is up to 118k now in 2.5years

 

Replaced due to failure

 

Master brake cylinder

Starter Motor

 

Wear

Clutch

 

Age

Rear spoiler

Both rear sills

bit of rust on both wheel arches.

New exhaust pipes as they rotted after a short while (knew this when I got it, fuel pump....what a difference!, oh, and a rear wheel bearing...does replacing the stereo/speakers count..?

Still to do..., handbrake shoes (found this out when I did wheel bearing and cable to be replaced too, going to put braided hoses on it too as the rubber brake hoses are looking a little tired, oh, and PCV valves....not enough hours in the day!!

Reliable as anything though.... :dance: :bow:

done 20k+ miles since i bought her, daily driver with only a PTU failure thats caused it to brake down :)

Finally get the zed running reliably and quick, and I have to sell her :(

had it 5 mths now

rear shocks replaced, 2 coilpacks, 3 different water leaks (radiator cap DOH!!!)

fixed HKS boost controler and turbo timer

still to do

front shocks, all brake discs and pads, HICAS leak

also done -leather interior, mp3 player, rear speakers

apart from that great fun

zeds going on 4 years.. did 60k maint, replaced radiator

and high pressure steering hose. oh i think speed sensor need

 

replacing ... not bad considering its a 90 auto ..

Spent more money that I should have when I first got her as it was a hit and miss type of electrical problem. I replaced about £800 worth of electrical stuff. IT was probaly just the temp sensor.

 

Engines out at the moment for some sexy stuff to be fitted ;)

Bit's :cry: but will be better soon :dance:

was fine now slipping in fourth paddle is having the flywheel for lunch

new engine being built ( with interesting throttle bodies :x: ) and lots of goodies
