Hello there,
I picked up an '85 Fuego last night for $650, and rego runs out this Sunday (April 27th).
I was hoping to get a pink slip check on the weekend but doubt I'll succeed being the Anzac long weekend and all.
The clutch cable is apparently almost new, and I was advised by the gent who sold me the vehicle that it needs adjusting from time to time??
By the time I arrived home (drove from Forestville to near Hurstville) the car was obviously well warmed up, and as such the cable may have expanded (??), thus not allowing me to put it into reverse.
When I first drove off with the vehicle, I had no problems in selecting reverse, but this may have been because the vehicle (and engine bay) was cool? No?
Sorry to ramble, but is it difficult to adjust the clutch cable?
I'm thinking of getting the car serviced- any recommendations? (the carby was aparently 'recond' 2 years ago)
While I'm at it, as a new Fuego owner, whilst 'inspecting' the vehicle over this coming weekend, are there any technical things that I should lookout for, pay attention to, or be particluarly aware of?
Thanks in advance for your help!
This is a great resource!!
regards,
Damien
PS- The vehicle has done 172,000 k's
