it's a manual

thank you for the tip...hopefully I won't blow up my car

I'm not sure if the choke is working, and not sure how to check.

Another clue, the engine will cut out while I'm driving and not pushing the petrol pedal down. I.e. while the car is in motion it cuts out.

Sorry guys, must be frustrating giving me advice because of my limited knowledge.

I didn't drive the old lady for three weeks and now she's angry.

The engine starts fine but then cuts out if I take my foot off the pedal...even with the choke.

I am mechnically challenged, but can I fix this myself?

Is it possible to buy new front shocksl for a 1970 2002?

If so, any details or links please!

What sort of price should I be looking at?

No you are not going crazy, this has very little to do with brain chemistry. The temp gauge is a guide and not 100% accurate.

A bad ground with the headlight & turn signal circuit can manifest itself through the temp gauge. When you put on your turn signals does the temp needle pulse up and down?

If so, there is increased resistance in the circuit, resistance = heat, clean grounds and connections.

I think we have it.

Thanks for all the feed back.

I have a sneaky suspision that my brights have something to do with my engine running hot. During the day I have no issues with engine temp, but in the evening, with my brights on, the engine seems to be sizzling after 10 minutes.

Further, my brights seem to drain the battery while I drive...

Any chance of wiring being the problem here?

The battery has been tested and is in good order.

Sounds fantastic - how much?

There are people far better suited than me on this site to give you advice though.

Hi guys, was wondering if there is anyone I can link up with in Johannesburg for general advice on where to take my 2002 for repairs and events etc

thank you!

maybe I wasn't clear. Still sitting with the problem of the lock not working.

If anyone can help, please let me know

Thanks for getting back to me Mike.

I managed to open the door.

I look forward to hearing from you guys

Can anyone help me with a broken door handle on a 2002 1971 model (passanger side).

The interior lever and outside button lever does not do anything when I try and operate it.

I have removed the interior panel of the door and I'm busy fiddling with, and swearing at, the locking mechanism - to no avail.

If anyone has some tips or can show me a link that explains how the mechanism works it would be much appreciated.
