So today was my maiden voyage in my March 2001 £1000 66000 mile A2 1.4 SE. 5.5 hours home from the garage who inspected, MOT'd, serviced, Cambelt/waterpump'd and brake fluid'd it for the first time in 3 years or more, and doubling my initial expense. On this drive of motorways highways and byways, I found out that the FOS strut-top is a little clonky, and the lights that were initially on when I looked at it, came back independently and at different points in the journey. 1) the engine light (maybe the addition of Super-Unleaded upset it) and 2) the Yaw sensor putting in a show.
Apart from a slow seatbelt and wiper, it drove really well. Cheap old tyres humming on the rear too. The brakes were fantastic once the surface corrosion had worn off.
I also found out my Chorus I stereo had a CD function on the 'Mode' button, and a wire for a jackplug sticking out of the cubbyhole beneath it (no idea if it works) so I am thinking its actually a Chorus II.
The interior also smells a little damp too. Maybe the OSS seals?
Some help would be great, or guidance to links to help diagnose. I will probably get garages to do the work due to my lack of time, so a) should I buy a diagnostic tool and b) is there anyone near Hereford I can give my money to in exchange for experience and fixing? Thanks in Advance, Andy
