sporty-shite Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Decided that I'm just not feeling the love with this car, so I'm going to let it go. R reg ZX turbo D. MOT to June this year, get you home tax. 130,000 miles. Standard fit radio/cassette.Electric sunroof. Drives very well and starts first time every time due to the new glow plugs I fitted last month. Has towbar with twin electrics, although I've never used it, so don't know if the electrics work. It's solid on the body, but has a couple of knocks and has scuffs on the bumper corners. Bad Bits Passenger electric window doesn't work. I've disconnected the switch because it would only open and not close. I hard wired the motor to close the window and it works both ways, so it's probably the switch or a broken wire.Central locking doesn't lock the drivers door, but it locks everything else from the remote. I've just locked the drivers door with the key after I've plipped it.Drivers door takes a good slam to close. For some reason, the hinge pins have been replaced with thick bolts and I think the door has dropped slightly because of this. I've just got used to it.Has an oil leak, either from sump or end crankshaft seal. I have a sump gasket to go with it, but have never got round to fitting it. Good bits Drives VERY well.Good on juiceExcellent starter, and has been 100% reliable.Uses no water.Towbar for A-framing adventuresAutoshite dealer sticker and original delaer plates The price? £275. Car located in Westhoughton, near Bolton. Can collect from rail station etc. Would defo swap/px for something sporty.

skattrd Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 With diesel at not much over £1 a litre I don't think the vegeterian thing is a big a deal as it was a while ago. GLWTS mate, looks like a bargain. sporty-shite, messerschmitt owner and dugong 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dugong Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Looks great and whoever buys it can over the plebs in their 306s, which are not at all the same in any way, shape or form. Or something. sporty-shite 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UltraWomble Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I have to say I prefer the ZX to the 306 by a metric shitload. I mentioned this to the missus this afternoon but she says I have too many heaps on the driveway (and my mother in laws driveway) at the moment to buy a WBOD.

beko1987 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Nice! Swap for a volcane? Its slightly sporty if you ignore the clonking from the drivers side ball joint, and the dented wing adds to the aerodynamic, and makes salty spray make funny patterns down the door...

Tell her how sensible it is! Nice! Swap for a volcane? Its slightly sporty if you ignore the clonking from the drivers side ball joint, and the dented wing adds to the aerodynamic, and makes salty spray make funny patterns down the door...Didn't realise yours was a Volcane. Not really feeling diesel love, though. If it was a 16v, however........ Similarly DENIED See above.

beko1987 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Never driven a 16v, I thought they were rarer than white dog poo? This has the makings of the new AS bike, or an ideal commuter wagon though! Not too sold on the colour though IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I want to buy this as my 106 is a bit too small to carry a dismantled motocycle + two people + two matrasses, can I have till Monday to find/borrow the money and decide? Will send PM later.

Six-cylinder Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Trois questions Une, When was the cammo belt last changed (if known) ?Zwei. How serious is the oil leak (if known) ?ثلاثة Is the back "axle" in fine fettle (if known) ? These are very important questions for a ZX Diesel: An oil leak on one of mine turned out to be from the head gasket Four new rear bushes cost a fortune to have fitted. I lost my last ZX TD hatch because of a broken cambelt. forddeliveryboy and Cavcraft 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacquer Peel Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I think he's saying, get the cambelt done yourself, it's a fugging £275 car. dugong and UltraWomble 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
castros_bro Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I think he's saying, get the cambelt done yourself, it's a fugging £275 car. Let me explain, presently the zx TD is 250 miles away, I have two weeks till the ferry booking then a 1000miles drive, I am not asking anyone to change a belt/seal/mounts but would like to know if the present owner hasand/or would be willing to dilvulge the information. 500tops, Lacquer Peel and derskine 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollywobbler Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Sorry but there's no harm with asking questions of a car, regardless of price.

320touring Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Has everyone on here got the painters in this week or owt? The car is £275, prospective purchasers can ask what they want to, the seller can answer as they see fit.
