Title: My knackered 90!
Post by: TechnoTurkey on January 13, 2006, 11:41:11

Well, its been delivered today and I think I am going to be very busy!

Things that I can spot that need doing:
  New doors (hanging off)
  Brakes - pedal goes straight to the floor!
  Welding - couple of little bits, hopefully nothing too serious!
  Interior - trashed, wouldnt even want to sit in it with my overalls on!
  Electrics - heater doesnt work nor wipers
  PAS - doesnt seem to be very effective at all

Also, should there be a light for the glow plugs and at what stage of ignition are they on?

Yes there is a light for the gl;owplugs. It looks like an orange coil of wire. It comes on just before the start position.

There is on mine sometimes. Most often not. I dont worry about it. Just give a suitable pause (after putting seatbelt on) and fire her up. Starts first turn of the key everytime.

Thanks for that WingNut - I'll give it a go, however that is the least of my problems at the moment!
