Hi guys .
I bought my z on sat and all was well till last night
I went out for a ride and had 3 lights all come on at the same time .
Yellow handbrake light , dynamic traction control ( yellow triangle in a circle ) and the abs .all yellow .
As I only just bought the car will ring the dealer and go find an indy to read the faults etc .
Cheers Greg. :cry:

Make sure they print out the fault history, will help you if the fault was present at the time of sale.
Don't take any BS from the dealer regarding warranty, the sale of goods act is what you want to read up on and use.

Cheers .
I have read that sale of goods etc .
I rang dealer and they will pay for anything it needs done and I have a 3 month gold warranty .
Will get the faults read and the history and go from there .
It was just serviced and front pads done I also noticed the cover was off the lug where you just start the car from also a little brake fluid on the fluid cap . Hopefully I can get the faults read today
Thanks for the reply guys . :thumbsup:
Cheers .

I have spoken to the garage I bought the car off
And he will pay for the repairs if any .
I'm trying to book it in with a indy in Bredbury
This afternoon .
I guess if it is serious I will take the car back and demand my money back as it wasn't fit for purpose . :cry:

At least they are honouring their side, plenty would swerve it as much as they possibly could.

At least it gives you peace of mind.

I'll keep my eyes out for another Zed in the area in 2 weeks. I'm only up the road in Gee Cross. Good that its gone wrong now, rather than later, something you won't have to worry about again now its getting done!

Any pics of the new toy Greg?

Garage will be glad it is not an OEM unit, that would be closer to £2k.

With all my discount, it was still £1600 for mine.
