Treated the car to a day out at Leeds Castle, and for the first time ever, in the 20yrs I've owned the car, I was parked next to a fellow 2+2! :thumbs:

Weather was overcast and bloody chilly, but plenty of cars to see as well as the Zeeee's

Thanks mate that's much appreciated! :thumbs:

Lol you don't have to be, sharing any pictures of your car out and about while its being used is great in my book. The more entries the better.

Finally got the car to the paint shop today as my mate is back at work and has cleared his backlog.

Here is the before pic of one of the sets of fender holes - I'll do an after pick in a week or so.

If it was right hand drive I'd call it a wing, but as it's a lefty I find myself talking like our American cousins!

Either way it's nice knowing they will be fixed soon.

My 1973 240Zed has a fuel issue in that the electric pump at the fuel tank was not getting power. I jumped a hot lead to it and it worked so the pump was all good. I investigated further and found that 73-74 240/260's come from the factory with 2 fuel pump relays which are located on the passenger area footwell below the glovebox. After much time with test lights and jumper wires, I finally removed both relays and opened them up to have a look at the contact points inside. The #1 relay which is the lowest to the floor was the bad dog as the small coil inside had melted and would not allow the points to come in contact with each other to complete the circuit. I have reached out to friends locally to find a replacement and will let you know what I find. Nothing on e-bay or google either new or used could be found. Attached is a pic.

Took the car for its MOT and as usual it passed with flying colours.

I now need to reset the windscreen wipers to a more settled position. Untwist the passenger set belt after I took it out the other day and despite best efforts still put it back with a twist. Install new / oldstock eBay purchase starter motor.

All I was supposed to do this year was drive it.

Mike, I've not tried, but these relays look big enough to actually fit a modern solid state mini/micro relay in side. i.e. if you can figure out what the pins do, you can repair your old one with a new one inside the case.

Yes, I've just had a local to me mate suggest just that. He wants to fix me up with a Bosch relay that can be fitted into the old housing. We are working on the details currently.
I will let you know if it works out.
