If you check on the kickdown cable there should be a crimped stop on the inner cable - according to the workshop manual at idle speed the outer cable should be adjusted to remove the slack so that the stop is just touching the outer cable (threaded end) - this should be the right adjustment but if ...

It's about 8 years ago now since I sold it so this is just from memory (which goes hazy as we all get older!!!!!), but I seem to recollect ...

Just one thought - years back, I understand that some people used to advocate the use of a light soluble oil (e.g. machine cutting oil) as an anti-corrosion additive in engine cooling systems


And brake fluid. Just a small amount works as a corrosion inhibitor, and can be used in conjuction ...
