[stevedx]

looks good, but why so cheap? any hgf issues etc?

[bgunn]

£400 VED coming up next year might have something to do with it..

Have the belts been done?

[southside]

Coolant tank looks empty?

[vinny19791]

have the belts been done?
Vis motors ok?
Service history?

If yes good luck if no. I'll give you £500

[marty_boy]

belts done recently VIS works fine it does have coolant in it.

[vinny19791]

receipts available for the belt and tensioner change mate?

[tim61uk]

can i ask what VIS means.

By the way this car looks Dog Boll*cks and really would like one but dont think would every get rid of my turbo coupe.

Good look with sale and price seems very reasonable

its the variable intake system on the inlet, shoddy design, oil contaminates the motors which open the butterflies in the inlet, rendering them useless, and also knackers the plenum @ £500

Can all be prevented with fitting a catch tank though

[bgunn]

The plenum is still pretty shite though, the ball-links will eventually fail irrespective of whether you fit a breather catch tank..

i am sorry to moan but i am actually trying to sell this car so can the negative comments please stop.

[zozzie_9t9]

To readdress the balance slightly, the ZS 180 is great fun! My mum's is a lot of fun to drive and seems to get more attention than some more expensive cars! At her school the ZS got more comments than one of her colleagues got for her new Audi TT!

Apologies - it wasn't meant to be negative to your particular car! Good luck with the sale, I would be interested in a swap if I did have a turbo Rover, but I doubt you're interested in my MGF!

is the ved really going up to £400 for next year for cars of this c02 band? that seems madness


regardless of that- that seems a serious amount of car for the money. someones going to get a bargain.

[vinny19791]

no currently only 2006 on 180s

[Fordimus Prime]

sorry for slight thread hijack. - the new ved bands are just silly


plus, the banding for old cars is also silly- a humble Ford Focus 1.6 on an X-plate will cost exactly the same to tax as a Lamborghini Diablo of the same age. Fair? Probably not, but good news for owners of older high-performance cars.

(but great if you own a diablo)

o the ZS front, its not going to £400.

The 2.5 ZS between 01 and 04, sits in band K - 201-225 co2. at the moment, acording to parkers, thats £235 a year to tax, and next year will rise to £310 from what i can work out.


Annoying, but nothing that can be really done. Id rather pay it and drive a ZS!
