Why not buy this this and then you have 3 Zeds :D and a shed loads of parts. Or re sell one and get some money back.

 

If this had come up when I was buying a Zed, I would have snapped his hand off! :D

You can pick up a used replacement engine for under £1k, removal and fitting would be about £500.

 

Engine with Turbo's for Sale

Ryan / Ztech isn't a million miles from you - I'd give him a ring.

 

£6K sounds just daft (you could buy 2 more Zs for that!)
