Sorry - Posted on the wrong thread... DOH!

Post by Spang257 »

Hi Guys - I introduced myself recently via the 'gallery' thread not seeing this one.

I'm Vince and I live in Nairn about 14 miles to the east of Inverness on the A96. My 2000 Zed Three is a 2.8 with a lowly 60,000 miles on the clock. I'm a relatively new 'Zedder' but I fell in love with mine the first time I drove it.

It's needing a bit of work including both windows which seem to take forever to go up and down (needing lube?) and the offside headlamp adjusting screw under the bonnet has a rotten spindle. I think it may have been shunted at some stage too because the rear panels aren't particularly well lined up. Apart from all this though - it's a beaut' and my biggest thrill came recently as I drove it 170 odd miles from Arbroath to Nairn at night with the roof down (and the heater full on).

Looking forward to chattin'...

All the best,

Vince

Welcome to the Forum ;)

You could try some silicone spray in the upright window channel

Thanks Gazza, I have tried that - I reckon it could be the window mechanism inside the door needing a bit of a service...

All I need to know is how to get the door panel off when the weather is a bit better..
