Welcome To New Members

[paul.h]

New members are warmly welcomed to the forum.

In this section members can introduce themselves, add details of their cars and anything else relevant they wish to share. It helps if you could put your car details in your signature by editing your profile, then each time you do a post it saves others having to guess what car you have if not mentioned in the topic.

Problems requiring help or discussion should be posted in the relevant section for the model of car - under the model type and then within a subforum since if placed just under the car model the post will not show after a few days and will not be seen by members unless moved by a moderator. Please provide as much information as possible about the problem including car model type and year, engine size/petrol/diesel, any recent work carried out on the car before the problem or work to try and fix the problem.

Whether a solution to the problem is found or not, it is important that a follow up post is made to help other members. Often new members do one post with their problem, many people give possible solutions but the new member never returns. Thus nobody knows how the problem was fixed, the helpers may think they have wasted their time and may be reluctant to help again.

 

 

Please note that advertising is not allowed unless permission is granted (including signatures and profile) and such posts will be edited and if deemed as spam will be deleted and the poster will be banned from the forum.

 

Anyone who posts abusive comments will also be banned and prevented from posting.

Hi and welcome to the forum.   That sounds a nice car.   How's the suspension?   Does it rise and lower as it should.   Check the LHM and see it's a nice bright green.   If it's looking muddy maybe it would be worth a flush and change of fluid.   Any record of a change of cambelt?   If you have no reliable record, then it's advisable to change it ASAP.   How does the coolant look?   Again if you have no record of a change, fresh coolant will prolong the life of the rad and matrix.
