rear camber arms
so i've finally got round to fitting rear camber arms on the zed, one question though the kit came with no instructions, but i had 4 long bolts, 4 washers and nylock nuts with the kit were these intended to replace the eccentric bolts on the inner of the arm?, thats where i've fitted them as both eccentric bolts snapped off trying to undo them.

wobbling HID lamps
yes lamp is in correctly and feels firm when cold but after a few mins use, the beams seem to shudder left to right, prob not a lot at the bulb bit when projected looks a lot worse, i thought maybe as the lamps have a plastic surround it could be that but no signs of any melting.

puddles of water under the back seat
it's a challenge to get anyone older than 12 to sit in the back of a zed lol

puddles of water under the back seat
i dont think the rear wiper gromit helped it much as that used to pool on the inner plastic trim and used to flood out when i opened the tailgate
-
puddles of water under the back seat
i do park on a very slight gradient with the frond end up but not enough for the water to flow over where the height difference where these puddles are passenger side had slightly more water than the drivers side, definetly clean/rain water did drive the car yesterday so could be from boot area but that looks dry, although rear window does suffer with a huge amount of droplets of water on the inside of the screen, i get it on the windscreen too but not as bad

puddles of water under the back seat
well i took my rear seat out today to find i have a couple of small puddles of water under the rear seat no idea how the got there or where from so looking for and ideas on this, i did have a leak around the rear wiper because the seal rubber was worn and not sealing correctly, i fixed that today but can't see that causing water to get under the rear seats, i do have a very slight targa leak but thats onto the fron seat

plenum change?
water bypass removes all the small waterpipes on the bottom of the plenum total pain in the arse if they leak as plenum would have to come off to replace them, they run to the throttle bodies to warm them up in cold weather but we don't need that in the uk as it dosent get cold enough, egr bypass some say it improves emissions at mot time plus if you ever have to remove the plenum again it makes the job a whole lot easier
-
plenum change?
well the obvious problems are damaged/brittle connectors which may break on removal, corroded pins in the connectors, but saying that you can easily do a plenum water bypass and egr removal once it's off

Who the Fook wired my car?
the wiring looks like mine by time the factory radio plug had a adaptor plugged into it to split it into 2 then a further one to convert it to iso then found once i'd spliced my carputer screen power & live into to it didn't work traced it back to the main factory plug to find no earth connection on the plug!

sorry couldn't make it mate had a hire come in so had to be out at 9.30 to set it up (never got to bed till 4am) then was tired rest of day certainly not awake enough to drive might be worth oranging a date in the next week or so to give plenty of notice, i've kept the zed taxed so sundays ok for me
