1. Idles below 1000rpm.

2. Oil Temp gauge appears not to be working, max temp is apparently just 1/4. Oil levels are fine.

3. Water leak in boot, bottom left corner where the jack should be.

4. Pulls to the left, tried to have it tracked but my front right bush is going. What replacement would you recommend?

Any ideas and solutions to these would be appreciated, cheers.

ps. sorry, i know these have probably been asked loadsa times but my search through 5 pages of search results was fruitless.

boot seal or hole in inner arch is more likely
pull the side cover off and all will be revealed
