Most of my shop gear is packed in readiness for moving house at the beginning of June so I took the ZT to a local shop to have the front suspension arms changed and an alignment. When I picked up the car I found they couldn't reinstall the headlight leveller arm as they broke it taking it off. I shake my head, back when I did this sort of thing for a living it would have been routine to weld the bracket back together and finish the job! I got my son in law to weld the bracket and installed it in short order. I also installed a pair of DMGRS drop links. The last set, from another supplier only lasted 18 months or so.
The ZT is running great now! other jobs are on hold until after the move although I just got an E-mail from Rick Bhullar that my LED bulb set is on it's way.

Wotcher Andrew, I found them on the 'Bay. They have a brand name I can't remember (sorry!) - but there's lots of info on this site about them - including how to make sure they stay on.

Thanks RDS and Suzublu. I might look into them as that area on my drivers door is pretty keyed up (previous owner!)

Baled out the spare wheel well.
Removed the rear seats (saloon) and the rubber/foam underlay. Removed the boot liners both sides and at the rear, also the trim around the rear seat back opening. Brought everything inside the house to dry out. Next job will be to remove the front seats and carpet and investigate how this rain water is getting into the sills. |
