That's lovely! Welcome to the club! :)

Is he even still alive!?

Doesn’t quite look that way from the photo. I can’t recall the rear portion sitting proud on other SWB and when off the car they probably look very very similar.

I’m not doubting they don’t fit, but a I think physically, that’s where the difference lies, they probably have different end caps which have different profiles which is why there are two different part numbers.

Still can’t really tell, but it looks like it’s sitting higher than it should. - - - Updated - - - It also overhangs more. - - - Updated - - - You are taking a photo of the rear portion?

Different photo angle Gary. The first photo you took, the rear of the tab looks like it’s sitting proud.

Tab sits flush against the roof.

I can see from that photo that the rear plastic trim tab doesn’t sit flush like it should do, it sticks up a little.

I'm confused; they're 2 separate part numbers, 2+2 and 2+0 shouldn't be interchangeable?

Yup, as above, the end caps are not sold separately. The unit itself is inexpensive and freshens up the roof. Buy new now whilst they're still available.:)

Happy birthday Dave! Hope you're keeping well.

As choice is now very limited if you want a high quality ready-made system, it might be worth going to Infinity Exhausts which aren't too far from you. Ideally you should have an X or H pipe joining the two systems together. Don't try to salvage any part of that Powerflow system, the materials that Powerflow franchises use are woeful at best. If you go to Infinity, you can also get it tailor made however they use top-quality materials, not the crappy mongrel stainless which you find on Powerflow systems.

Yes, order an OEM harness and whilst you’re at it, replace those crappy early pintle style injectors - a great way to future proof the car.

Happy birthday Mike! Hope you're having a great day!

Ignore the actual base of that, that connector is irrelevant. H1 bulb doesn't come with it. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PHILIPS-XTREME-VISION-130-CAR-HEADLIGHT-BULBS-H1-FITTINGS-SINGLE/111827122964?hash=item1a096a7b14:m:mgCT0ql9VSg5ZDxlPw-XtkQ

2017’s Euro road trip was a good few hundred miles longer.

So you didn't get it for £200 then. ;)

Check which ferry you’re on. If you’re on the regular route with Pont Aven then she’s currently stuck in Brest with steering gear issues and won’t be back in service until June 6th. If you’re on the Economie sailings on Baie du Seine, that’s running fine.

I usually take the Z to the continent a couple of times a year, however I haven't done what I call a 'long' road trip since AndrewG and I went down to Monaco a few years ago; our route was via 'Route Napoleon' and back through Italy over the Great St Bernard Pass, through Switzerland and back home. Both Joel and Andrew are out of action this year due to other commitments, however I'm desperate to take my Z on a long jaunt. Next year will be a much bigger one with Andrew and hopefully Joel, however I've almost finished booking up the trip for this September. Sadly, the section through Route Napoleon was a washout in 2017, so didn't see any of the views I'd have hoped, but I really want to do it again, in hopefully better weather! About the only time I'll take exception to driving my Z anywhere near a wet road is if I'm caught out in it in Europe - I don't exactly have much of a choice! So, leg one (which is actually 3 legs)! Taking Brittany Ferries' morning sailing from Portsmouth to Caen, on arrival in Caen, I'll head down to Le Mans to see a friend of mine before heading on south to Massey near Bourges. Overnight stop there before heading down to Valance (avoiding Lyon) enroute to the start of Route Napoleon which is just south of Dignes le Bains. Route Napoleon is spectacular (when you can see it)! Half way along Route Napoleon is the beautiful Medieval town of Sisteron, a great place to stop for lunch! After coming off Route Napoleon (around 2hrs of driving), you drop down into Grasse and then just north of Antibes track east along the coast starting in Antibes and working your way through Beaulieu-Sur-Mer and Villefranche-Sur-Mer, amongst others, the areas for many of the Dirty Rotten Scoundrels scenes. Keep going east and you'll come to Nice and then into Monaco. When Andrew and I were in Monaco last there was an event being held there and sadly Casino Square was effectively closed off. Might treat myself to a meal there in one of the over-priced sea front restaurants (hopefully might see some interesting people as it'll be the 'summer break' after the Italian GP and many F1 drivers have homes there) before continuing east toward Sanremo and to another night's stop in Santo Stefano. Following day will be very relaxing taking the spectacular Autostrade all the way to Genoa through mountains and coastline. Not too sure how the traffic is being routed through and around Genoa as, if you remember, part of the Autostrade close to where we were in our Zs a few years ago, about a month after collapsed. I'm sure I'll pick my way through there and get to Portofino, a very exclusive and very pretty town just east of Genoa. Heading back to Genoa mid afternoon to catch the overnight GNV Ferry from Genoa to Barcelona which is around 4pm. It's a little more than overnight, it's a 17hr passage, but it doubles as a hotel and gets me into Barcelona at around lunchtime the following day. Sailing across the Mediterranean isn't something I've done since sailing around the world on containership before I even bought my Z! Some interesting routes out of Genoa too as the port also has ferry links to many of the islands (Corsica and Sardinia) but also has crossings to north Africa (Tunis) The route out of Barcelona towards the Cantabria region takes you through Zaragoza which is in a semi-arid almost desert-region of eastern Spain in fact there are only 2 desert regions in Europe (both tiny) and both are in Spain I believe the other is somewhere north of Almeria. Anyway, as you continue north west you come to the Cantabria region which is 'Green Spain' country. Some of the roads just south of Santander are beautiful. Fresh water mountain lakes, it's a very clean and crisp landscape. Final leg is then the 24hr crossing with Brittany Ferries from Santander back to Plymouth. Pont Aven serves this route, a pretty large ferry with restaurants, casino, bars, cinemas, shopping etc etc. The route is really nice if the weather is good as quite often, dolphins will follow the ship and you'll get good views of them over both bow and stern of the ship.

Prime time to upgrade your rear lights to 99-spec!! You can get the entire kit from ZCentre.

They only looked like they were doing well as all the voters that would have normally voted UKIP, voted for the Brexit party and that blithering idiot and career liar Farage. :lol: UKIP went in reverse, BIG STYLE

Perfect Gary!

allcarpartsfast.co.uk You can actually still get the bearings and they’re not expensive. I’ll have a root around for the spec although Joel might remember the part number.

Looks like I'll get a US bumper shipped over. I think they're the closest match.
