Couple of problems... please help

OK,

Not sure if this should be in here but... My 1991 GT11 auto is having problems starting. It will sometimes but other times it wont. If i turn the engine off before it has warmed up takes ages to get it running again. It doesnt seem to idle right either. Revs keep dropping dropping quite low ...

Re: Restoring flat paint and full clean.

Well looks like a key job and some others like that. Plus ther seem to be darker blemishes in some areas. But there also some surface. I can feel themm with my finger nail. Just don't want to respray her as it'll cost too much and other things need doing first.

dodgy rear bumper?

Hi all

So the driver side of the rear bumper is pretuding a lot and is loose. It has the brackets either side to fix to but the driver side won't fit anywhere near to it. I took it off to see what the problem is. It looks as if the metal bar thing it attatches too is slightly more out then the ...

gloopy yellow stuff?

Hi all

Ok my auto gearbox was playing up. High revs and no power so I checked the ATF and it was bone dry. Apart from this yellow gloopy stuff on it. So I put about 2 litres of the ATF down the pipe and checked it then it was to the right level. Took her for a spin and she is running perfect but I ...

Re: she wont turn over 8o( help!

ok soooo i have checked the battery and that is totally fine. Hit the starter motor with a wooden block and didnt work. so im guessing its the starter motor. How much is one going to cost me and does anyone have a spare one for sale?

Do many things go wrong with them?

Re: she wont turn over 8o( help!

yeah it does a little bit bit its more of a clicking noise and a wurring. A freind mentioned to hit the starter motor with something heavy... how does that sound?
