His buzzer wasn't working (although he has factory reverse sensors), I know he looked into this and I had it in my head that this was the case - however I may have dreamt it !!!

Cheers Paul and Oxford.

I will take the IPK out and see if there is a buzzer as in the photo. If not it must be in the parcel shelf

Some more stuff at the rear end sorted this weekend

Firstly the issue of the knackered keys was resolved. From the keys I picked up

To this. One of the keys is a pre project the other is one from the internet and possibly not the best quality but it works well so will do as the spare

Next was to change the worn rear window ZT trim. A job I was not looking forward to. So it went from this

To this. Not a perfect example but its a lot better

But getting there took a good couple of hours.
Firstly I carefully unclipped all the surround clips using a trim tool.

I had 4 x clips break which was not too bad and I cleaned out the channels and sealed the bottom clips in case they decided to leak in the future

The clips were then refitted and broken ones replaced

Then it was clipped back in to give me the finished article

Next was the wobbly boot hinges. I have not seen this before on a R75/ZT but they were really loose

A second hand set were sourced, cleaned off and Sprayed

and then fitted. I left the boot lid in place and did one side at a time so I could manage the panel gap. There was a lot of muck behind the hinges

whilst cleaning the muck away I also cleaned the channels and polished them to match the newly sprayed hinges

The boot lid was then cleaned and polish internally to match everything else

These hinges are a lot better and very sturdy so I am not sure why the others were so worn. Finally the panel gaps were checked which seem good but that is with my eyesight

There is only one more really important job to do on the rear end which I cant do at the moment so its onto the interior which I have just started
