Drove it to Peterlee and revived a dead 75 diesel, where I had some comments about bird shat on the car

then on to Middlesbrough to look at a strange windowbus fault on a ZT, which will be another exciting instalment.

On the return leg of the journey, My ZT decided to announce "it had a fantastic idea"

So sixty miles later the lad had been stewing about this brilliant idea, so I removed the washer bottle neck, and fitted my last H7 bulb, and he promptly forgot all about his "idea"

It just seems like a couple of days ago that I changed the nearside dipped beam

So, I now have a fully illuminating test rig waiting for the next instalment of a repaired DDE4

I originate from the Forest of Dean and travel down quite frequently. I need a Mark 2 ZTT rear bumper in good undamaged condition and some bracing bits from underneath across the silencer tunnel.
Kind regards,
Adrian

Finally got around to fitting the BCU that was donated by marinabrian, i now have a nice remote boot release

Fitted the replacement seals that I bought from here to Tarquin. One of the originals had split, and the other one was sopping wet, and not flush with the bodywork.

All good now though.

I looked at mine and felt the same. As it's a sunny day I got the bucket out
