After a good run out on Sunday in the Cotswolds, the ZED decided to die completely today. Got to the car first thing this morning and absolutely nothing!
Another walk into work but it was a bright morning to do it on
Break down mechanic thinks it is the starter motor gone but he did not fancy working in that engine bay so the car had a ride back to GTS
Hopefully they will be able to have a look tomorrow or over the next few days if I am lucky.

Sorry to hear the Keith it was a great run, some very remote country lanes
Hope it's not a costly issue for you

I've only just spotted this thread. Hope you've got it sorted now.

ZT finally moved under its own steam this afternoon
A couple of minor issues with the replacement engine but once it was fired up it sounded good according to the mechanic. May not finish the work this afternoon, so it will probably Monday before I am mobile again but it is looking good and I am looking forward to driving again

Nothing serious then, just a replacement engine
Glad it's getting sorted though.

When I have car problems, they are never minor

The other one is still in safe mode. No one can steal it until it is fully back together. Once the ZT is running again, the F will be top of the list to get fixed, so I can get that smile back again without having to borrow your car
