I need some advice on the following;
Fuel; the right type to use.
Shudder on take off, curious it seems only to happen after releasing handbrake'
Indicator lamps lit all the while on dash and the opposite one flashes when its used, think its a relay.
Pink switch on left of dash is rear fog, whats the left one for?
And the bhp on the deluxe 4 speed manual if possible.
I would like to meet like minded people to keep this car on the road.
thanks all

Welcome!
Fuel, it's a low compression engine so will run on anything! Unless you're doing zillions of miles, not worth messing with the head.
Shudder could be the handbrake pads binding, a common fault.
Lights will be a relay or earth.
Pink switch - no idea!
My DL struggled to hit 50bhp on the Dyno, I think official is 88bhp.
Hope thats a start, lots of ideas to follow I'm sure.
