Got this problem on my N/S hopefully a bead of araldite or similar will hold it, bit reluctant to get in there because of the air bag |

Looks good. Which Owatrol product did you use? I've just Googled it and there seems to be stacks! Could do with sorting out the windscreen scuttle panel and wing mirror mounts. Thanks.

[QUOTE=Popcorn;2929371]If you have a soldering iron, hold it close enough to the bend to warm it up, then move it back to it's original position and it stays in place when cool.

I wouldn't call it detailing, but I've been out cleaning the bits I hardly ever bother with.
The brow above the radio needed screwing back into place. After removing the radio unit 3 times to retrieve the screw (my hand shakes too much) I managed to get one in. The second screw fell off the tip of the driver and fell on top of the button bit. Had enough, it'll have to stay there. Edit - also put a new grill badge on Mo. Arrived just in time from Xpart

Today I took the tourer to the RHS garden show at Hide Hall, then ran my son over to his friend in Latchingdon. On returning home removed the plenum covers on the tourer and ZT-T, moved the tourer (diesel) ECM out of the way, removed the pollen filters, masked up the heater intake and hoovered out the plenums, then rodded out the inner and outer drains, hoovered out again, carefully pressure washed out the plenums and dried with compressed air ( I rod regularly, but wash out once or twice a year).
After refitting the tourer ECM, both pollen filters and all plenum covers, checked all levels on both cars, hoovered the interiors and cleaned the seats (leather in the tourer, red Alcantara in the ZT-T).
