Re: My ZS! Another slight update :)
take it easy mate, count to five before you lash out, tempers run in my family but thankfully ive never taken it out on my car
worst ive done is mount a pavement at 15mph to get off the road in anger!
mind its probably better than continuing to drive whilst being that pissed off
women!
the car still covered?
does it have windscreen cover? iirc if your covered you dont have to pay the full amount of a new screen

Re: My ZS! I Need Help Please :(
tbh with them engines, you just gotta run them till they die, you cant stop it happening as the bottem ends are untreatable so just run it till it dies, if it doesnt fair enough
only downside is if liek many its drinking oil more then fuel its not worth actually running it till ti dies as it will go very quickly once the oil runs out

Re: My ZS! I Need Help Please :(
Yeah? It'll look like a zs, be a mint colour... Cheap tax and insurance...
There's no downside, it's just an idea but... Sensible?!
