Three times Ray, funnily enough I've never conked out in the 45, or the 214 today

Still once I've pulled the innards out of the diesel tank, and converted the delivery pipework tomorrow, the ZT will have non of the rubbish underbonnet pump issues ever again

The 45 is such a lovely car, 120 thousand miles and apart from the clutch (wear & tear) she never let me down

Had the OSF caliper seize on the way down to work today so jacked it up in the car park after work and freed it off then drove to the Wookey Hole hotel trying not to use the brakes.

I suppose that's a job sorted for Tuesday when I get back home then.

Adjusted the hand brake and found that the sliding caliper wasn't moving much so had the pins out and cleaned them up and put a smear of copper ease on the pins. Getting it ready for the yearly you know what.

Please let us know how this ends, had the tourer kit but was'nt to happy with them as they did not snap in.

I had a new fuel pump fitted so there was a some petrol spilled on the soundproofing under the rear seat causing a petrol smell in the car.

I removed the rear seat and lifted the soundproofing to allow it to dry out over the next few days.

Fitted new handbrake compensator, made no real difference so I will need to adjust brake shoes. Can't do this on my driveway as it is about 45 degree slope. Was a bit nervous about changing the compensator with car in gear and large rocks wedged under the rear wheels!!! Also when I removed the rear carpets I discovered the reason for the water I had in rear footwells. The smell of the water confirmed it was from the jet wash I went to a couple of weeks ago where they do a great job but we're maybe a bit over enthusiastic with the jet wand!! I could smell the detergent. Its going to take forever to dry out properly.

Checked my plenums and bone dry! Most unexpected and been worrying about my negligence in checking them for ages.
