Great! now my Z is one step closer to looking newer. that dirty cracked rubber really told it's age.

I unscrewed the larger bolt to the left of the suggested one which had the same outcome! thanks. The tips made things much easier. (esp the lube)

a couple of years ago i got 'offered' 3 points and £60 fine. it turns out that is the maximum penalty for that offence. so court can only match/reduce this.

i can't see it happening in your case tho. higher fines + points are given should you be going 150% of the speed limit (ie +90mph in a 60)
