Hello there,
I've recently bought a 1978 245 DL.
I really like the car and it goes very well, if a little sluggishly.
Recently while running low on gas, fuel gauge was showing I was in reserve, the car started running very roughly, almost cutting out on occasion. I filled up with gas and problem was fixed. Any ideas why, and are there any other known problems with this year/model I should address. I'm looking for hassle free motoring not a restoration project if you know what I mean.
Couple of other things: I can't get the front wiper washer to work, and when I turn on the airconditioning (almost a necessity in Australia) the idling is too low to compensate for power loss and engine cuts out when I'm stopped at traffic lights etc - is it ok to turn up idling myself? And if so, how do I do it?
