Hi everybody, My name is Tony I live in U.K. summer and Spain in winter.
I am 75 years of age and have owned my girl with the big bum for 17 years, her name is Shadow 11 1981 in Willow gold and ivory.
She is fairly well behaved but now and then like all females she has to kick up a bit to show who is boss and that is what she is doing at present time by refusing to light up her warning lights when the key is turned on.
She teases me by lighting up as the engine is cranking though, thank goodness.
Recently I spent £3,500 on brakes and air con service but the garage who did the work didn't bother to bleed the height control system so now the body doesn't rise like it used to when the engine was started up. She isn't sagging at the rear though. Would bleeding the points on the rear cross member rectify this ,since it worked ok before the service. I can't take the car back to have them see to it because we are in Spain now. Do you think the warning light problem is a relay and if so where is it located.
Apart from these minor problems, my girl gives me immense pleasure when ever I see her and I am in heaven when she lets me drive her.
Browsing through the posts, I think this is a friendly and very supportive community with very knowledgeable people contributing and can see that I will be visiting regularly.
