Moving on from my Mk1 TT.


Recommended Posts

  • 4 months later...

I P/Xed my TT for a 350Z which they are changing a timing belt on so will pick it up Tuesday probably. Just wondered if anyone on here is familiar with the car. Its Sunset Orange ET53 DTX. It was low on coolant when I inspected it , but they put it up on the ramp and got it upto temp and couldn't see any leaks? I read in the guide about air blocks in refilling coolant rad/tank. I'm assuming it is this. It is standard apart from a KnN filter which I will have to declare on the insurance transfer.

Welcome.

 

I agree the £200 per year in road tax is not that much extra. But it is still annoying in principle. Also you have to bear in mind the price for the higher category cars may well go up a lot in the future. The general climate of being anti car is not going away. I can see that top rate of tax being a grand at some point.

More delay in getting my Zed. It seems the syncro mesh has gone and it has been handed over to a gear box specialist. After reading that syncro can go as early as 20 or 30K miles it doesn't seem so surprising to go at 51K. But I hope its not an indication that the car has been thrashed?

First problem for my Zed. Came to open the boot to put the shopping in and the button won't budge and the boot/tailgate will not open? Had a search of forum but can't see a thread? I tried pulling on the release under the big strut in the back but it wouldn't move? When I press the unlock on the key fob, there isn't a click or anything from the boot mechanism?

Cheers

:welcome: to the forum... you were on the right track with the SLK 350... just had to drop the "SLK" and add a "Z" at the end :thumbs:

 

Yeh, I think I made the right choice. Think the SLK is a great looking car but the Z nails it on the reliability and smile factor.
