"The Mi16 is increadably quick, and great fun to drive."

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Power Steering effected by a very old fan belt, this was fixed by replacing the belt.

Clutch cable needed adjusting because it was causing the gear change to crunch.

General comments?

This is the second 405 that I have had, both with the clutch cable problem, easily and cheaply fixed.

A lot of reviewers complain about servicing these cars, but they are great to service yourself, and most problems can be easily and cheaply fixed.

How do you go about adjusting the clutch cable? I just got hold of an Mi16 and it seems to suffer from the crunching gears if you are the slightest bit out with the depression of the clutch and the movement of the stick. I have to be very conscious of gear changes to make it not crunch.

I did have a problem with the ABS lights coming on when they were working properly. Got an earth replaced on the front headlights and the light has not come back on. Does this sound normal?
