My Engine won't stop !

When I turn the engine off it turns over a couple of times gives a couple of death rattles and dies. Is this something I should worry about or is it part of the charm of owning a 45 year old woody ?

Grateful for any advice on using T Cut to brighten up my paintwork ? The paintwork is in generally good nick with a couple of weeping rust spots around one of the headlights.

Halfshaft Seals

Could anyone help me sourcing some half shaft seals ? Have recently put my first moggie through its MOT and the guy at the garage said there was a small leak onto a brake pad and if I could get a half shaft seal he would fix it.[frame]Image[/frame]

Where is the windscreen wiper reservoir

Daft question but where is the windscreen wiper reservoir and how do I access it to fill it up ? I've recently bought my first moggie and this is the first time I've needed to top it up.
