hi all, i got my stereo in safe n sound with no hassels at all ( there was a deal on for free installation with the player i bought, so i took that)
anyways, my thread isnt about that this time. I have a few questions, still being new to the commodore scene.
1) Fuel Consumption - i get around about 350km/s off a full tank of optimax/vortex/or the bp fuel. thats around town. is that normal?
2) Brake Lights - my brake lights only seem to work when the pedal is pressed hard. Im a light braker usually if i see a red light coming up, ill start braking around 20 - 30 metres before hand, or back off.
is there a way to fix this without an eleco? just getting a bit worried i might get hit up the bum.
3) Overheating. - Now this is a tricky one, when my old man gave me the car, he todl me it will need a new 2-speed fan, so be carefull driving around town. I went to get a new fan and the guys said, if the fan works, you dont need one (it only works sometimes, with the air con on). apparantly from what the guys were saying is that its normal for the vs fan not to turn on until about 3/4 of the way on the guage. they also went on about a 106o thermo for a bit as a cheap experiment. but that whole thing loses me.
So my question is what do i do?
4) Wobble - i get this wobble in the steering sometimes when i break, it will pull hard to the left or right, and when i unbrake, the steering will straighten back up.
Ive rotated the tires, and that helped a bit, but is there anything else?
thats all for now, but im sure i will have more questions at a later date.
thanks for your time
Tim
