Hi all,
i'm not a very mechanically minded person but i did enough of a tafe course to learn to service my cars, change disc brakes and sparks plugs etc. I know the basics. Recent my partner rolled his 80 series landcruiser so we bought a MQ 83' Shorty and i love it. But it has some problems..:1087:
1. Squeaks when letting the clutch out between gears, in particular 1st and 2nd.
2. Doesn't like the rain... It wont start in the rain. It makes all the turning over noises but just wont get going.
These are my main issues, it does need a good service and a tune, which i have never done a tune up before on anything but if anyone can shed some insight into these things i'd be so greatfull!
