cjd1979 Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 Well, after buying the Zed on the 9th April, I have finally enjoyed two consecutive days of actually driving the car. To recap briefly on my Zed ownership experience so far - it goes a little something like this... Buy the car, return it to the garage the next day to get the crunchy gear change fixed. Break my wrist three days later, car comes back from the garage three weeks later and sits on the drive for two weeks. Get frustrated of that and go for a drive with the other half driving, breaks down in Milton Keynes (complete power loss and engine stall). Back it goes to the garage on a flat bed. Get it back two days later with the view that there is nothing wrong with it. Sits on the drive for another two weeks as my wrist heals. Wrist comes out of plaster. Go for my first drive in the Zed. Breaks down ten minutes from home (complete power loss and engine stall). Call the RAC out and gently drive it back to the dealers. Three weeks later, I get the car back, fixed (for now). Turns out the MAF sensor was the root of the problem and has been replaced. All done free and to be fair the sales dept of Camden Nissan Northampton have been good in their approach. The service department may not see my business going forward. On the plus side i did get to drive a micra and a qashqai , and save a fair amount of money on petrol (can use that to justify the new exhaust system). Hard to think that the Evo has been my most reliable car so far... Quote
Cool Hand Luke Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 Glad you're back behind the wheel - hopefully with the wrist healed and the MAF sensor fixed you can get on with enjoying the Zed Quote
martinmac Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 Think of all the knowledge you have imparted during this time bud. And the weather is better. Glad you are sorted now so you can enjoy the zed. Quote
cjd1979 Posted June 20, 2008 Author Posted June 20, 2008 yeah, I seem to be rapidly forgetting the issues the more I seem to drive it. Just a couple of weeks without a problem, thats all I ask for...! Quote
RobD7 Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 What rotten luck Still, glad you got it sorted Could be worse, i've been waitin over 3 months just for mine to arrive!! Quote
martinmac Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 Get yourself to a meet bud and it will all become a distant memory Quote
Stew Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 I must say though that your problems seem to be a one off. Very rarely do stories like this get posted. Anyway, get driving and you'll soon forget about it! Quote
Trev-the-Rev Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 Pleased you're all sorted now - just enjoy the Zed. Suprised by your comment about the Evo being the most reliable car so far as I always thought they were generally no problem. Quote
