Cooling fan doesn't go on.
Engine would over heat easily.
This car is a great bush bomber I love it.
This car is a good first car.
Cheap to buy and cheap to run.
Only has three gears which sucks because you can't go fast at all only goes about 130kph.
This is in response to your overheating problem. Try replacing your cooling fan sensor, and relay. I had a 1986 Buick Century with the 2.5L Iron Duke four cylinder engine that always had annoying problems with these particular parts. The fan sensors would be either out of temperature range, or would not work. The relays would sometimes fail, or stick causing the fan to keep running when the engine is shut off. The relay should be mounted on the pulley side of the engine compartment on the fender. It is about the size of a deck of cards, and has a bunch of wires coming out the end of it. The fan sensor is on the front right side (transaxle side) of the engine block on the cylinder head. I recall it's a single wire sensor. Do not overtighten it! Dispite the problems, otherwise great motor! Good Luck!
