Thanks for your replies. The FE is currently not for sale.

She had one previous owner who was a very old lady who lived in Mt Lawley. She has driven 71,000 miles. All I've done is replace the generator with an alternator and got a new passenger side floor pan.

I found a good luck charm under the back seat that must be working because the FE is still running well. Is that standard equipment?

I'll check out the mechanics. Hope to see you on a WA road trip someday soon.

Hello people.

I only see my original FE sedan about twice a year as I am mostly in Queensland and she is garaged in Perth, WA.

She starts everytime. I get home but I would like to know what to do to keep her in good condition while I'm away for 6 months at a time and she rests in the garage. Any tips?

She's registered and drives quite well but I am looking for a good mechanic in Perth to check her over. Any recommendations?

I am a total mechanical gumby. I don't have a clue about anything past; 'petrol, oil, water and go!' My work is in cartooning.
