Reverse bleed of the clutch on my MK2 ZT-T CDTI named "Nigel", the morning after arms and wrist are still very sore. Happy with result all gears are smooth to get into unlike before but not looking forward to the next one.
The crud that came out:

Decided to have a look at armrest catch
Bit of a pita to do (for no real gain but it’s always bugged me!) Pics show hidden screw under foam to release pad Pivot points completely broken on catch Did try making bracket etc but that ended up in the way of the catches function So went for KISS method, bit of bolt and cable ties Had a look at hinge / mounting bracket. That was bent and broken so straightened. If my welding skills were up to it I’d have welded bit that was broken but on a good day I can only manage something that looks like pigeon NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD- Still didn’t catch fully - it does now!

New Zr calipers came , and a quick comparison shows they are 8mm wider and are for the Larger engined Zr's with ventilated discs. messaged seller who agrees they are wrong , but wants me to pay for the returns as Its my fault for not asking if they are the right ones ? .
The Advert specifically says for the 105 , and since I queried it all they've added " For ventilated 261mm Disc models" .. but still says Zr 105 , which never had them ? , Only the Streetwise ever had vented 261 discs and they are not mentioned in the advert C

Front Light Clean.
After 3 years the front lights on the tourer needed doing again, so did that today, hopefully i will get another 3yrs or more out of then before they need doing again.
1 2 showing the difference. 3

After last weeks refurb of the headlamps on the Connie, thanks to my economical use of the kit , I was able to do the same to the tourer so she now has sparkling eyes too. Whilst doing so, my parcel arrived from DMGR Spares containing two of the uprated rear suspension arms so that's very much a job for later in the year due to me recovering from long covid .
