Default What's your car's most annoying niggle ?

In my ZT the niggle that really gets on my nerves is that the Kenwood head unit has no night illumination when tuned off.

Trying to find the on button in the dark can be a pain.

My drivers door not opening off the key fob. I have a new motor thing to fit but can't face fitting it as it was such a hassle getting it off the scrap car it must be worse taking one out and putting one back in.

Wire to the plus 12v ignition so when ignition is on it will light up

I have a few (but still love it)!
The width of the A pillar at Junctions / roundabouts.
The reflection of the clock in the windscreen at night
The fragility of the carpet finisher clips.

Getting in and out of the ZT, I sort of fall in as it's low.

But once in I'm happy as a pig in muck!

intermittent leak into CD unit compartment on offside of tailgate area. It can rain hard and no leak, it can shower and no leak and then with a period of light rain it fills up. I have done everything I can think of and now manage it by regular inspection and drying out.

Mine was the same, have a look at the seam sealer from the hinge area up to the bottom of the screen. Mine must have had a small hole here and since i fixed it boot has been dry.
