It appears that the float aint floating!! It has a little bit of liquid in it - is this normal??

thanks again

karen

Hey Guys...

hmmm... I should have picked up on the dynamo/generator thing... will check my paperwork... i should have also said that i havent paid a cent yet and he said he would only charge me for parts seeing he stuffed me around so much!! but i think my brother in law and myself will be working on it from no...

its a 948, not to sure what the market here is like for spares... will have to make a few calls to find out... however my brother in law thinks we should be able to change it ourselves quite easily, so am thinking maybe i should wait... i just want my beloved car back... the weekend before i sent it...

Well my mechanic has officially had my moggie for more days than me... have only had her for two months and have had her in to get a head gasket fixed... which took forever... they finally went to put it back together and there appears to be oil leaking from one cylinder to another... so the block n...

I live in Karratha, about 1700kms away from Perth. Most trips are around 10 - 15 minutes so yes it is a low milage car!! But being so far away from every thing means that people charge rediculous prices for everything!! I phoned up about a respray the other day to be told it would start at $10,000 d...

i think i may need to print this page out to bring to the mechanic!! I didnt actually ask him to convert it... he just said thats what he was up to while he was fixing the exhaust valves and head gasket... is costing me $450AUS and the guy is a friend of a friend, so it should hopefully be a good ra...

have just heard back and her exhaust valves are busted, and he is going to fit new valves so i can use unleaded petrol!! was super chuffed about that!! For an unleaded conversion, you need to have the head machined to fit hardened valve seats. If they just fit new valves this isn't an unleaded conv...

i have only had her about three weeks so its extremely exciting to hear that things are going to be getting alot better!! have been waiting on parts and have only been able to go on tiny little trips... or even worse trips where some one else drives me home!! i presented the mechanic with some beer ...

I am sure this sonds extremely weird but i was so excited to hear today that i have a blown gasket... that means that no longer will i just hit 40 miles an hour... no longer will i need to leave my car for half an hour after a 10 minute drive before i can start it again!! I never thought i would be ...

Hello Peoples!! I have just found out by sitting upside down in the front seat that there is a mystery switch located under the lights button. Its is a square button which can move from the left to the right. Have turned the car on and off with it in either position and also turned lights all on and...

maybe we could just trade for a day or two!
