Booked it with Chris Marshall for a clutch slave etc. Sure I could do it myself but working outside on a ramp on my own is not my idea of fun especially when I have more interesting projects in the garage to work on.

I put a few pieces back in the Dorchester's engine bay today, kept nipping inside for a warm up between items fitted.

Took the car for a four wheel alignment. At least that's what they booked me in for. When I arrived they said they don't have the equipment to do that and shouldn't have booked me in... The toe on the fronts was a bit out which was expected after I put new track rod ends on. They've given me a printout showing my rear offside wheel has too much negative camber which is maybe why the car always pulls to the left slightly if I let go of the wheel. A look around the forum suggests rear camber can't be adjusted.

Gave the interior and leather a nice clean and shine after to improve my mood with the car

My nsr wheel has visible negative camber - is thus because something’s bent or worn?

I would be checking your upper arms gents, there shouldn’t be noticeable negative camber.

I’m soooo tempted to order them but house move means pennies are tight. I’m fancying buying the whole kit at £499ish too. Getting a good garage with new place so hopefully get settled in and do it.

Fitted a new o/s/f secondary door seal to the ZT-T today, was a bit disappointed when it was delivered to see 'made in China' on the label, however it fitted satisfactorily with no issues.
Time will tell if the seal lasts well, but it won't get too much abuse as the ZT-T is my second (best) car.
Going to fit the ZT-T seal (which was only slightly torn) to the 75 tourer, which is my everyday car as the seal on that one is torn badly for about 12" and tends to flap about whilst driving if it gets trapped between the door and the 'B' post (almost every time I drive it recently,).
