OK dudes bought a nova in April, dont have it on the road and started it regularly to keep 'er ticken.
Within the first month the left caliper siezes, so off I go to my parts shop and buy a caliper and pads. Get the new one on and go off to drive and hey presto!! the second caliper has gone as well. So back again and get this one fitted (by me and my dad of course), then i fire her up, or more she doesnt fire up. I find that shes only burnin on 3 cylinders cuz of corroded leads, was thinkin of gettin them replaced when today i go out to take her out for a wash when i put my foot on my clutch to find it isnt there and that the clutch cabl or somethin has snapped becuz the pedal just hangs there
Now, I know when i bought a nova it might need a little work surely not this much?
Anyway, I was wonderin if all u nova veterans could forewarn me of anything else I should look out for. Bear in mind that I can find no rust under the boot and it has been welded around the front struts and under the headlights.
So lads anythin in the engine to worry about?
Btw its a '92 1.0 8v 45 hp beast!
Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
