    Problems with clutch / gerbox > New problem now!

    Clutch cable is self adjusting on these. If its ticking over in neutral and starting to engage drive i would confirm that as a worn clutch plate. Stick it in high gear on a hill and try to move forward - if it revs as you drive off ( revs will increase ) it will be the clutch

If your reciever ( next to interior light ) was wet you first of all need to solve...

    Help!

    Sounds like the engine temperature sensor. This is basically the Automatic choke. When the engine is cold it detects this ( located in thermostat ) and increases the fuel / air mixture - when the car warms up it decrease's back to normal. If the engine temp sensor is faulty it will do this even...
