Mot , tax ?

[BRMark]

That's a lovely looking zr, best colour IMO - if there was less than 400 of them left I'd consider a swap :)

[fostar*87*]

I'd consider a swap as well lol

[Jiggy Josh]

What's your reason for wanting the swap? Has the headgasket gone/been replaced? I'm feeling a little TOO tempted by this :P lol.

[Joycey]

No all is well any viewings welcome it is 100% fine bud I just want a brm and have for a few years now so I might as well trade the 160 for one

Acutally I'm going have to revise my statement as I saw an X-Power grey one this morning and remembered that that is the best colour! :laugh:

[Jiggy Josh]

Where abouts are you located then? :)

[Joycey]

Gateshead Tyne and wear bud but willing to meet half way for the right car

nice:bounce:

[BRM_billy]

it is a nice colour but i agree the x-power gray is the dogs

[Jiggy Josh]

What kinda brm would be the 'right' one for you then?

[Joycey]

A decent one in reasonable nick with a healthy engine and box and not starship enterprise mileage

[robkeep]

that could have been me, but I was looking for something with more mpg (or should that be miles per litre)

[Joycey]

To be honest the 160 supprised me I find it ok on fuel (compared to my cammed zr120 lol)

[robkeep]

tempting..............

Dealings? Ha ha

[robkeep]

Dealings? Ha ha

how about mot, any service history, and the dreaded head gasket issue?:unsure:

[Joycey]

Mot till September only thing it may have problems with is the 2 front tyres but I have 2 in the shed just need to fit them

Tax lasts untill end of November

Head gasket I was told by previous owner it was done at about 45k and everything seems healthy and I am 100% confident there are no other problems.

I am just about to do the timing belts and water pump on it and a full service I also have all of these parts in the shed just need chance to do it lol

Service book is missing I never received this of previous owner but knowing quite a bit about the kseries I can tell it has been looked after and well maintained as you probably know yourself you can easily spot a poorly maintained kseries especially a vvc one

All previous mots are there with it and since September last year it has done approx 700 miles
I have just changed drivers window regulator

thats all I can think of for now if there's anything else just ask

I am being 100% honest just realy want a brm in hopefully equal condition to my zr

[robkeep]

still pondering - i think its my age. my BRM has 67000 miles, mot til feb, head gasket replaced at 42000, if my memory serves me right.

[Joycey]

What does it drive like? Do you have any pictures? Thanks

[robkeep]

drives fine - just a squeak on starting from the fan belt, which lasts about 30 seconds, but I can't work out how to adjust it. There are some small bits of bubbling, but I had 2 new wings last year. Had a new clutch last year, new battery, DVD/CD thingy, that I leave on Radio 2 as anything else is too complicated for me. Still have the original manual/handbook, including brm supplement. I've had it for 3 years, and you can see a back photo of it if you search here under 'unique brm', and a photo from its previous incarnation!! All original apart from wheels, which are halfords finest. No rips or anything in the upholstery, but carpets are a little faded. Let me know if you want any more info. I was looking for something cheaper to run, but your ZR looks nice.

[Joycey]

Looks and sounds ideal mate only Thing that puts me off are the original wheels missing as I can't afford to replace em

[robkeep]

ok no probs, I'm a bit in that situation myself,
