Against the alarms bells telling me walk away I purchased and to my delight on here the only issue with the battery running down quickly is the bonnet sensor fault, highlighting where I Park with the hazards flashing all day, picking up replacement tomorrow.

No complaints aside the usual run flats compromise and dignified water draining checks but happy motoring all round and an extremely helpful forum of members on here for help at hand. I'm also surprised at how flawless the paintwork is on her.

I have used the exact same product to waterproof mine. WC aboard :driving:

True story the smells and sniffs alone sell products these days lol, designed surely by these folk supporting scented candles at ridiculous prices, I grew up running with the autoglym range and old habits die hard, at least a pretty Zed is worth the efforts of costly gifts.

The AG range above also including the fabric hood cleaner came to £92, (which arrived as ordered but they never phoned to announce)

Titan silver metallic is 354, I had a can made up to paint the frame of a mirror for a friend matey in the shop said there is
a few different versions of titan metallic depending on the year whether there is any truth in that I don't know?,
If you go to a proper auto paint shop and not halfraulds they will be able to make a up a can or a touch up pen

Cheers for the heads up, different versions based on years would surely baffle halfrauds and probably catch me out too so hopefully not the case, don't think I would count on halfrauds
for the Zed for much anymore especially paint, different with the previous car being a Seat.
