MMm, could be a factory install problem but i have to say the last 40ish ZT / 75's I have checked they have all been in my view the wrong way round!
Most have been face lifts and a few 52 plates & 2003 models.

First pic is where to find your cable divider near the washer bottle filler

You can see my little modification on the single cable (wraps of tape until almost touching the wing) This stops the cable coming out of it's slot.
Another method is to use a cable tie or tie wrap as we called them in the RAF.... they hold the planes together!

Correct orientation of divider block in it's housing

The cable divider box housing on the Pre Face lift models does seem to be better quality and stronger plastic than the face lifts!!!
Again a case of making the later models CHEAPER???

Oh and by the way if anybody's cable release is a bit stiff and you are scared to pull that lever to check everything........ wait untill engine is hot! Seems to be easier to open bonnet when components are warm.
DO THE SIMPLE MODS NOW BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!
