Does anyone have any photos or images of the eccentric ring located between the steering column and steering column electric motor? I would like to have a go at adjusting mine and some imagery would certainly help.

Just use an 8mm flex headed ratchet spanner. Makes access easy and turns it into a 10 min job.

Yeah most people don't have an 8mm flex headed ratchet spanner buddy. OP don't listen to this snob.
Just use a plain old 8mm wrench and try to wiggle it in there.

What a strange way to introduce yourself - why not post some pics of your Zed or a bit about yourself if you're visiting or looking for a Zed. Plenty of helpful advice on here learnt by bitter experience in most cases and shared to make other forum members lives easier.

Charming.

FYI, if you don't use a ratchet headed spanner, you won't be able to swing it enough to get the spanner on the next set of flats.
