Hi everyone I'm new on here and hope some kind person can help. I love my old car. She's done nearly 290,000 miles. I have two problems though.
1. I need to locate a part for my front suspension and my mechanic has drawn a blank as to where to locate it. It's the housing for the shock absorber or, as he put it, suspension leg. Any suggestions, please?
2. Engine restart problem - the old girl starts fine from cold but, if I try to start her from warm if she's been off for up to 20 minutes, she struggles for almost a minute before the revs settle down and off I go. If I try to drive straight off she coughs and splutters. This causes a problem for my on call firefighter husband if he gets a shout and needs to use my car, because the old girl's having none of it!
