conzult check
I believe Ztech (near swindon/Newbury) and Zen Garage (various locations near london) offer this free service. Alternatively several members have Conzults themselves, if you can find somebody nearby.

Manual or Automatic TT
TT 0-60 is about 5.5 secs 0-100 is about 14 secs NA 0-60 is about 7 secs 0-100 is about 17 secs

Manual or Automatic TT
Both have near identical performance. Auto has the edge on straight 0-100 sprints (were talking 0.1 secs though) , Manual quicker in real world driving. Auto obviously would be better for in-traffic driving, Manual better for sprited driving. Manual MUCH stronger than Auto box , and with a Manual you dont have to convince every dissapionted passenger that its ok having an Auto in a Sports car/Super car :x: ;) Manual zed's are rarer and tends to me more expensive.

Few interesting things I've learnt about oil pressure/smokey exhaust.
Keep an eye out for oil leaks for a bit, particualy the rear main seal (oil will appear around gearbox bellhousing) - common failure after oil overfill.

Traumatic day :(
Thanks everyone. Everyone very shaken up and emotional but so glad their still here. I agree, re: other drivers attitude, which is why I never approached him afterwards, and only wish a speedy recovery for his son.

Traumatic day :(
Phonecall at 4pm from my Wife, hysterical to say she had just been in a Head on collision on a Single carriageway in her MPV. My 7 month old daughter and mother-in-law also in the car. Jumped in car, and screeched there to find Wife in ambulance, Daughter on Respirator and mother-in-law at side of road in neckbrace surrounded my paramedics. Spent the evening in Hospital, Wife and daughter now home. Cuts and bruises on my wife. Baby suffered whiplash and has bruises where car seat harness digged in, but both ok. Mother-in-law having to stay in hospital, with fracturered Ribs and breathing difficulties. It seems to be my Wifes fault...2 cars in front started slowing, so did she, then they stopped suddenly, her ABS kicked in, car would'nt stop in time and she swerved just before coming to a hault, hitting a Ford Galazy (doing about 60mph - the legal speed limit) coming the other way. Both cars very much write off's. One of the kids in other car seemed quite badly hurt :( , but not critical. Driver of Galazy had huge go at my wife, threatening to hunt her down and kill her, before I arrived. :mad: The Road (major carriageway into City) is still closed, 7 hours later. :( :( :(

Nasty Problem

Ok, so just how unreliable are these cars....
Mine is'nt my daily driver, but there are plenty on here that do. (I think BlackMagic does 25k a year in his?). Fuel costs would be the biggest issue (plan for low 20's mpg with carefull driving, but it can go to half that when having fun or into the high 20's on steady motorway drives(apparantly;))

Nasty Problem
Very common unfortunatly. One of the zeds little faults with age. Can be cured with a strong glue (evo stick - Solvent variety) , and clamping it down as glue sets. (strong crocodile or bulldog clips)
