[QUOTE="slow-lane-Matt, post: 517532, member: 19329"] check the red and green ignition lights come on when you first turn the key - and that they go out when the engine starts. If the green one stays on - or comes on when driving stop immediately and investigate - oil too hot or too low and good possibility of damaging engine The red one coming on or staying probably means the battery isn't charging or some other electrical fault. Probably not as serious as above but could leave you stranded with a flat battery Carry a tool kit ! I took my bus to a specialist when first got it and didn't regret it - it should not cost much - and apart from doing everything right in regards to servicing, it's hard to know what the steering, brakes, suspension etc is supposed to be like on a 40 year old car until you are used it.... They'll also be able to tell you exactly what you've got... [/QUOTE]
