My very exact thought, imagine a TV without a remote control unit, most of the population in the Western hemisphere might even be healthy as they would physically have to push a button or two.!

One of the hardest jobs on a R75 or ZT was aligning the door lock pin that goes through the door case. (The one that pops up and down. Must of spent hours aligning it through the hole only to thump the door case on and its missing!)

Unscrew it until it nearly comes off (leave a couple of turns), then re-tighten after fitting the panel.

My ZT190 has a drinking problem, I cant drive past a petrol station without having to go in so it can get a few pints down its funnel.

an annoying buzzing coming from the driver's side door at certain frequencies from the speaker - doesn't even seem to be from a particularly 'bassy' sound track. Sounds like the window switch is vibrating.

Need to remove the door panel and see if there is any insulation missing or something loose - might try and add some sound damping foam and see if that cures it.

Did they eliminate the spare wheel well on the V8? If it has one, use a standard wheel as a "get-u-home".
