With Saturdays heavy rain I noticed ours has a few drips just behind each door, at the car waistline. I assume the little 'bucket' inside drains through to the bottom of the car ?

I thought it might be useful - say if you were parked topless at a rally or similar....
But no I haven't really thought this through, I just wondered how to do it should the need arise

Thanks

I may be wrong (as I'm a Z newbie) but you might try glueing some extra rubber packing under the bonnet where it contacts the switch (Hope that makes sense)

1.9 Air Filter swap

Before I inspect the air filter on our new motor to see if its been changed, are there any tricks I should be aware of ?
I'm assuming the 4 clips will allow me access and there's enough flexiblity in the rubber trunking to lift the old filter out. Is there anything fragile inside ?

Thanks

I wouldn't get hungup about broken seatbelt guides. It's more of an annoyance really that a quality car has this design fault. There are diy fixes

Daft wind deflector question

Please bear with me - Is it possible to attach a mesh deflector (the type that fits OVER the roll hoops) directly over the seat headrests instead of the hoops? Mesh deflector of this shape - n---n I figure that the hoops and the headrests are approx the same shape so with some extra velco it might b...

Security and handbag storage

Yes this is a bit girly but do any women make a habit of putting their handbag in the rear seat locker when they out driving on their own ? I'm concerned that some lowlife will snatch Minnies handbag out of the car when she goes out alone and topless :oops: Also is there a more secure taxdisc holder...
