Default 2004 zt-t 190 se £895...............



This car requires a bit of TLC (probably a new head gasket/s). There is no oil in the coolant or water in the oil and the engine runs at normal temperatures. However there is excess pressure in the cooling system and I suspect that this is being caused by exhaust gasses. Sometimes it starts up on less than six cylinders and this is accompanied by some white smoke, sometimes it starts perfectly with no smoke! Ironically it had new head gaskets 13000 miles ago at a cost of £1495. Current mileage is 122K.

On the plus side it is MOT'd to November and taxed to June. It has a normal SE spec including Harmon Kardon, Xenons, sunroof, cruise and powerfolds (they fold in by key fob), etc, but the full leather interior has manual front seats - I'm guessing that they have been swapped at some point?

It also has a full cat back (quiet) stainless steel exhaust including catalytic convertor costing £475, a detachable tow bar and Apex wheels with two nearly new Continental tyres. I have a big pile of invoices with the car totalling several thousand pounds and including, clutch, belts, new inlet manifold, etc.

Clearly it's worth much more than the asking price in parts, but I am not going to break it and it would be good to see it saved.

I will post further pictures if it ever stops raining!

Looks like a fantastic project for someone, and, let's hope it's not just another breaker for someone. Good luck in finding it a good home.

Hear hear, Dom. I've already spent too much on it and so really need to pass the baton on.
