:thewave: Hi,I am wanting to get a T5 of some sort & have come across one on ebay,But there seems to be a few problems with it.
Its had a 'Cat D' damage,What is this,Has it been writen off?.
Also the speedo/odometer is not matching the milage,It's had work done on the Gearbox,Steering Gear,Crankshaft,Hydrolic tappets,& Cam belt/Tensioner change,There is some History but not full.Its done 140k & this seem a lot of work for a car 10 years old.
Would anyone else be tempted by this?.

Personally I'd leave it - you will find others that have a better history.
Keep looking - and don't fall in love with the first thing you see!

Steer Clear! It has "dodgy" written all over it.

There are plenty of good ones out there if you look hard enough.

Hi all, I have bought the car myself after having it Hpi checked the damage was due to a strap breaking on a transporter and the car rolling off the back (not in transit at the time) the car sustained minor damage and was repaired to the highest possible standard. The mileage on the car is incorrect but it was recorded in the service history, the service history is not complete but is detailed by Volvo to 120.000 and then independant services thereafter. All other things detailed in advert was correct. The car runs and drives A1 and puts a smile on my face every time I get in it. Now all I want to do drive it sorry you missed out.....no I'm not cos I've got it hehehe.......Graham Fisher :rainfro:

WOW, just looked at SAM.... pretty extensively modified and very impressive too...
But I dont think I want anything modified though (which is a shame cos SAM looks like fun)
You seem like the kinda person who would quickly get the ZX up to 700bhp...

How about you buy my ZX anyway?? You KNOW YOU WANT TO!!

Go on..... ;)

Oh yeah, and and duck next time you see MRSMOPP with an exhaust! LOL
