Hello all! I'm new to this forum and am in DESPERATE need of help in SEVERAL areas....
I have an 87 Roadster with the following, in order of severity....=)
1. The BIGGEST problem right now is a TERRIBLE "creaking" noise coming from the as* end. The noise only occurs on turning and it isn't that bad after it has sat overnight. It gets progressively worse as it is driven. It is absolutely atrocious! I have had the following replaced in the last month .... tires, brakes & rotors, u-joints, wheel bearing, and several other miscellaneous items. I believe the problem is in the differential, but my mechanic continues to say, "no." Please help!
2. I've seen what I think is my next problem on the forum, but am unsure if it is the same problem. My electronic temperature control for my heater/ac is "stuck" at 75. Well, not entirely stuck -- I can decrease the temperature, but then there is no way to get it back up unless you disconnect the battery and it resets itself to 75. So, basically, I can't get it higher than 75. Is this a short somewhere or what? 75 is a nice temp, but.....Other than that the heater/ac works well.
3. Radio is going out -- it is the stock radio. I believe it is the tuner. Some days I can get all radio stations -- from 90 to 107. Other days, all I get is static. It isn't affected by the weather -- so it isn't reception. Some days, it is only the upper channels (from about 98 on up). Do I need a new radio or can this one be fixed?
Everything else has either recently been fixed or is getting fixed as we speak. I'm ready to sell her, but once she's back to tip-top shape, I might change my mind!
I appreciate ALL the help the readers of this forum can give me. If you can only help with one problem, that is GREATLY appreciated as well.
