Improve/restore my ZT-T bit by bit or just take it all on?

I'm only 75 km to the south of you also just off the A50. Maybe we can make an appointment for you to come over and chat about the best course of action? I certainly can't help with doing anything myself I'm afraid, but can give some worthwhile advice I think. Email me? d.bytheway@gmail.com.

Pool of fluid under the car could have been airco condensation water-drain of course. Also don't forget that a filled expansion tank is not up to the brim of the neck, but up to the MAX mark you can see if you look way down into the reservoir from the neck. You may have been overfilling, which will all get thrown out.

Your coolant leak, if indeed there is one, may be the intake. Several, including me, have had that problem; we will see.

Thanks David,

You already replied on my first post and gave me some useful suggestions.
Will contact you for sure. Always nice to meet fellow owners.

I have access to a garage including a host so will make pictures first.
The "water" under the car was 100% sure cooling fluid (feel and taste confirmed).
Also I needed to fill up again after a longer test drive (did not overfill it)

Hope to meet you soon,
Thanks, Peter

Maybe the water pump Peter. Everything you mention is do-able. Dom can refurbish the subframes, but you'll need to take them off and send them over here to be sorted. On the MGR's it's best to deal with the rust as soon as poss. We've got all four corners if you need suspension struts.

Hello Tim,

I sense I am going to ask a really stupid question. But who or what is Dom ?
Love to have a address who can help me. As I will need all the help.

I will check the waterpump again. Previous owner said it was replaced with aircon unit.
But than he also had no clue where the navigation had gone. To have the shop tell me it the cause of a battery leak and he told them to throw it away.

I will certainly place an order with the shop. Badges with that running pony is going to be a first but certainly not last.

Thanks, Peter
