Sun came out...
So popped out. ..and about 2 hours, mostly faffing about getting at it for what is a a 2min swap job. So finally fitted the DMGRS 2-4 solenoid I bought 4 years ago . But all in and the box is smooth again. Took the end off the solenoid to find The problem.. Centre Should be connected to either or both the others C

Brakes
Fitted new pads and discs on all four corners.
Noted the front droplink on left is leaking, already have the part but ran out of time today to do that so that's next Saturday. Also noted the front left has the disc back plate completely missing, front right is crusty too so will be getting a pair fitted. |

Had a wasted afternoon trying to fix a fault on the Connie. After my Scottish road trip holiday ,I have mostly been using my tourer to have some comfort. However last night we had a night at the pictures to see the new film 'The Duke' with Jim Broadbent and Helen Mirren ( very funny film and a true story ) and when driving the Connie I notice a drone that is the typical sound of a wheel bearing. Today I checked the rear bearings to start with and found the o/s/r to be the issue. To make it a quick job , I rang the local ECP where I get a trade discount and choked at the price of £70 . I opened the box at the counter to find oily finger prints over the new part . As it was the only one in stock I said I'll chance it but I'm not happy.
I cleaned the back plate corrosion, fitted the part and went for a road test. The abs light was on within 10 feet ! I went for a drive anyway and the drone had gone but I came straight home and removed the part and refitted my old one again and headed back to the shop to complain and the abs light went out. I got a refund and will order a hub from another supplier |

Pulled the stereo on the ZT in the hope of finding a code written thereon. No such luck.
Posted a thread in the ICE forum asking for advice on obtaining a code. Baz |

Today i fitted my New Zenon Headlights as supplied by the Ricksta,DRL's with amber flashing turn signal and 4x 6000k Zenon lights.very happy with the product and all went smoothly.
Whilst the bumper was off i fitted a shedder plate as supplied by DMGRS as it's a diesel ZT and i do a few motorway miles,at £3.50 it was worth it. I then moved onto the PCV filter,taking my time as i removed the various components to get to the PCV,i also had a spare set of diesel return connectors in brass, in case i broke any of the plastic return connectors,but didn't need them. Feeling good as i finished all the jobs and didn't brake anything and didn't have any bolts or screws left over |

Finally got round to fitting the LED rear bulbs, supplied by Rick-sta, on the Bear.
Plus gave both cars a good wash.

Finally after 2 weekends of rain fit the new handbrake retaining pin from the back. Used a sierra 32mm pin and retaining washer works a treat. Test drive tomorrow and check the handbrake adjustment after.

Gave the door shuts and hinges and boot hinges and shuts a liberal squirt of kitchen degreaser worked in with a paint brush then rinsed off.
Cleaned all of the exterior door rubber trim and then polished it all with Turtle Wax "Back to Black". Ordered some grommets for the roof rails. Dried out the boot a bit and started investigating the water ingress issues. |
