hiya
couple of tec questions - temp gauge doesn't want to work - is it normally the sensor on the engine and if so best pace to buy or gauge needs repair from peoples experience - did the 75 model do away from plastic fuel lines in the tunnel or still had them which means i need to replace them - warning buzzers for door open / key in ignition - are they available ? mine sound pretty sick ( like im sticking a pin in a frog ) cheers in advance |

The plastic lines are fine, they are actually nylon. What fails are the old hoses, improper hose clamps and no through the body grommets. Only use proper correct size FI clamps, do not use the common worm screw hose clamps.
Although if welding has been done close to them, do not have the proper through body grommets, or they have been twisted due to a stuck on fuel hose then they are suspect and should be replaced. Even steel lines must have the proper grommets, without them the body metal will saw right through them. I know some will disagree, but if the capt'n was still with us he would agree with this. |
