Many thanks.

look in members cars for sale, if you say anything you like, drop the member a private message, as only the seller or moderators can post on for sale threads, due to the amount of folk pulling the price to pieces in the past.

Thread moved to a more appropriate forum. Re-direct left in old. This may be the better forum as threads get ‘lost’ very quickly in the General Forum.

Still looking. Been to see a couple. They were both the right price but one had no history whatsoever and the garage couldn't find the keys whilst the other had essentially only stamps in the book. I have six cars and have every invoice for each of them. The only thing I discard every year are the old insurance documents so that just have the current.

So if anyone has a decent ZT (including service history) within 100 miles of Stoke please let me know.

Regards

Wants: ZT 135CDTi, 2004/05, nice colour, solar red, X power grey, trophy blue etc; service history, long MOT and no problem with clutch slave cylinder.

Getting a bit infuriated with my current iteration as slave cylinder leak requires regular topping up but a pain when out and it is wet etc.

Regards
Steve

I nursed a leaking slave cylinder through the winter using the GhettoTech Easy Fill and Level Indicator.

Good luck with the car search.

Still looking. I know they exist though are quite rare. Saw what appeared to be an absolute beauty this afternoon - at a very reasonable price. Chap got there two minutes before me and gave the full asking price. If he hadn't i would have. C'est la vie but disappointed.

Any leads gratefully accepted.

Hi: finally found one. Saw it advertised on the internet and purchased it this morning. A 2005 example in X-Power grey with just 73,000 miles from new and one owner! Very pleased that my daily car will remain a ZT though its mileage will climb at a rate of 25,000 miles per year. Just like my existing ZT also in X-Power grey which today has been retired with 262,070 miles on the clock.

Reason for change is that though existing car still good mechanically I became sick and tired of refilling the clutch master cylinder as slave cylinder leaking more and more - down to having to do it every 300 miles which in my case is easily done in a day. Car worth say £250 and so with regret car sorned pending decision what to do with it. Ironic in that it has an almost complete history to it with masses of documentation.

I hope the replacement is as good as the one I bought in the Summer of 2008

Congratulations on finding one - may you have many happy years motoring in it.

Can I ask a silly question?

Why not just get the slave replaced in the old one?
