And yes, it's got some problems ha ha!
I think one of the rear wheel bearings is on it's way out, but I'll get that sorted...
It's the other little niggles that I need to pick your brains about.
1. The windows.
They go all the way down fine, but on the way back up, they go up in stages. You have to pull the switch up, they go up and stop. You have to let the switch go, and pull it again and they move again. It takes about 8 or 9 flicks to get the windows fully up. Is this a common fault? If so, how do I fix it?
2. The gear shift.
It's a 1.9 JTD, and the gear shift is a bit sloppy. It pulls well in all gears, but the gear stick is a nightmare. You have to be quite firm and assertive to get it into gear, but even then, you can still put it into 4th when you're looking for 6th. Is this a sign of a worn box (thinking worse case scenario) or is it more than likely the linkage? The gearstick has got no "spring" to it, and doesn't return to the middle when you take it out of gear. The car has done 117800, but does have a FSH.
Thanks for taking the time to read this anyway, and I hope someone can come up with some answers for me. I'd appreciate it if you could.
Thanks again.
Craig.
