Hello,
At last got my 99 80sx on the road having sourced a 40,000 mile engine from a scrappy for £175 and getting it put in by a very friendly local garage for £300(which included new timing belt, flush out, power steering fluid change etc.)
I am delighted with the car and only have a couple of issues I would like some advice on.
Airbag warning light on which wasn't there prior to the engine being fitted. Should I be concerned?
Gearbox can be slightly notchy particularly when stationary and changing to 1st, also clunks slightly on engaging reverse. It is fine when moving. Having read the problems with 1.2s was wondering have I much life left in it? or should I be on the look out for a replacement already? Dont do much mileage and dont intend to thrash the car.
Any replies would be most welcome.
Cheers Phil
