*There's a gas line in the rear end that drips a little gas for a short while after it's been driven. I got underneath & found where it's coming from. There's an old line about the size of an aquarium air tube which is attached to a metal elbow (remember, I know nothing about this, so my description probably sounds peculiar
) The gas is dripping from the end of the hose where it attaches to that elbow. I hope all that's needed is a new line.
*When it started raining this morning my daughter turned the windshield wipers on and we were unable to get them to turn off. Flipping the on & off switch back & forth a million times had no effect. I finally resorted to finding the connection under the hood, which I unplugged. I'll need to have that dealt with before my daughter finds herself pulling over in a down pour to pop the hood & plug it back in.
*The car will roll in park if the parking brake isn't set.
*The exterior looks fantastic but the interior needs a lot of fixing up. For now all my daughter can do is buy new seat covers and a dash cover.
Wiper motor: probably just need a new wiper relay that doesn't stick internally. Shouldn't be very much cash.
Fuel drip: get fixed as soon as possible: fire hazard!!
Rolling in park: this sounds expensive.
Good luck, and welcome to BITOG.
