Re: Cabriolet rear side window adjustment.

Thanks Ben, for the response. I have managed to figure it out. I ended up taking the full window and mechanism out, as after I had adjusted it, it still seemed to go ”aback to base”a. There appears to be a lot of ”aplay”a in the mechanism, so even after I took it out and adjusted things it still onl...

Cabriolet rear side window adjustment.

This has removed the paint slightly on the metal strip, but also restricts the closing of the driver’s door tacking a couple of attempts to close it, or drop the window. D...

Re: What Engine do I have ?

I think you are right Brian. The ”acomputer says no”a lad was about 17, but the older gent, let’s say late 40’s early 50’s who was probably more experienced said, it looks like your car was built in 88 , but registered in 89. I have come across this before, he even said I know what filter you want r...

Re: Oil in air filter box

Thanks Brian, I will order a new cam cover gasket and have a good luck and as you say give it a good clean and adjust the rockers. What is the gap for the rockers ?

I am a newby to these cars so I will be asking many more questions,

It appears I am only getting meagre MPG, having only driven it 100 miles. The mpg gauge when driving rarely goes off 12-15 mpg, and you can watch the fuel gau...
