It’s an original jobby from dmgrs, make, time etc stamped on it so hopefully all good.

Bulb warning light came on the way to work, checked on carpark n/s dipped beam. Got to work and took the covers off tried to press the retaining spring in (reflectors) no joy just a sore finger.

Got home and tried again used a screwdriver to get more leverage and popped one of the ball joints but no joy with the spring.

Swapped the cars over so will be in the ZT till I can get the bumper off the weekend, not driving on the motorway with only 1 headlight when I don't have too.

May look at fitting the halogen projectors instead at least their twist in!

I'm still swapping emails with different people every time at AutoDoc, trying to get the bearing I ordered. Getting nowhere fast, looks like I will need to get a solicitor involved if I want satisfaction.

Should've heeded the warnings that they would send an inferior part! Ched di the sensible thing and bought a genuine part - is it SNR bearings??

It’s the same as what was fitted at the factory 😉

Replaced the new camshaft sensor with the old one.
Turns out the original is better than the Chineseium replacement...


While under the bonnet, had the thought that maybe my poor cold running is caused by a manifold leak that seals up with heat. Maybe worth trying replacement gaskets.

Coded an NNN500340 to the ZT, went indoors for a coffee and afterwards went for a spin.

It had a sticker rather like this



I got to the top of the drive

It made it's way into the wheelie bin very quickly

The cable was then replaced with the mini one and all put back together, and this is when the problem began, the cable when tightened on the adjuster then twisted , so off it all came again, I couldn’t see immediately what the problem was but then I spotted it.
The circled part was further away than what it is in the pic, reducing the gap makes no difference as it’s already been weakened, the cause can only be over tightening the cable which in turn pulls the two parts of the hand brake apart.
I have no access to a welder otherwise I think a small weld would be enough to hold this end together.
Tapping it back into shape made no difference, when the adjuster was tightened this simply spread apart again.
So assuming the replacement compensator gets here by next weekend I’ll be doing the same job......again. 🙄

could you not add a little bolt through the hole which should round riveted as in the pics below.

Also remember when a new cable is added the little tag must be pushed outwards to remove the old cable then bent back into position after new cable fitted.

I have replied to your email & PM

Replaced this spiffy intercooler hose on the ZT





Then T4'd a nice low mileage 75 to see if I could sort out the warning lights covered in black tape



And finally looked at the possibility of replacing the ZT with something more useful for the upcoming congestion charge/ULEZ the numpties at Newcastle City Council are cooking up.......
