Question about manual conversion
http://www.twinturbo.net/net/viewmsg.aspx?forum=technical&msg_id=1001493 reverse wires have to be extended i think neutral has to be earthed to ECU ? you can bridge the oil pipes together, but most likely best to run through the cooler after the flush, they were designed to have a cooler so worth keeping. shifter change could just feel tighter when running due to new parts and bushes fitted hope this helps

Using insulating tape on efi wiring loom, no! no!
why not use heat shrink tubing

EL dial Inverter almost set light to the car
possible the converter has shorted out, not much help other than that.

you can peal it off and remove the glue using panel wipe, white spirits might work as well.

Alternator problem - Not a zed
was the alternator new or second hand, is possible the internal rectifirer (spelling) has failed. try checking the connections to the alternator for a loose wire, if you can get some one to watch the dash with the car running and wiggle the wires on the alternator, you might be lucky in it being just a bad connection. what ever you do stay clear of moving parts will doing this.

Do you think the insurance will cover this?
housing benefits are paid direct to the land lord as far as i know, if she is claiming benefits then she can get housing benefits, as far as i know they can pay up to all of any arrears if she has been claiming. but i think arrears and such depend on circumstances, i would get the court order or even a solictors letter to warn her of the consquences of fraud and squatting, also might be worth putting a call to social services about this and endagerment to her child from him, they might try and move her if they think there is a problem. not sure if any help to you but all the best in getting it sorted as quick and cheaply as possible.

Driver side window
normaly they are prone to dry solder joints, remove the black box in the drivers door and resolder the connections in it, hopefully should sort it for you, also try wiggling the window switch while trying the window. hope this helps

Annoying insurance companies
i agree push for it my zed had the screen replaced before i brought it, and all the windows are bronze except the blue screen and it bugs me.

Buzzing in sound system
either what lee said or you might need a suppressor fitted, see if it does it with different items on. ie engine running, then wipers go through each item, if the noise incress in piitch with engine running you would need the suppressor on the alternator.

Stalling
worth a try even just to eliminate it good luck mate
-
Stalling
have you tried changing the TPS, just a thought is might be giving the correct reading at idle position but shorting or failing as soon as throttle moved.

Loom connectors
these were the state of mine to this
-
Loom connectors
you should be able to change them over, if you use a precision flat screw driver or small rod, you should be able to push it in the connector and then ease the wire out of the connector, they are just push fitted into the connector and held by a small tab, the screw driver will push in the small tab causing it to release, just pull the connection out then, just make sure it goes into the correct position on the replacement connector. will stick up a pic in couple of mins.

strange power drain
no worries mate took it as light hearted lol, just a thought but have you got HID's, is possible one has fused and causing the drain.
-
Drain tube on an slick top?
that is the same as the drain tubes on the targa zeds, could well be just a part that is used in both SWB and LWB, as im sure it was welded to the original inner sill strengtheners. If it was used on yours you would see a clear plastic tube that slides over it. hope this helps.
