Nice idea with the Fuel line filter. Will replacing the Front Suspension seals fix leaks????????

sounds like the splines, (teeth) are worn and aren't connecting with the flywheel, this is major common on cars, have you checked the teeth to see if their worn down?

Right. When i initially start him up, he idles at 1000rpm fine, but as soon as i flick into 1st and then engage the clutch after a short drive, couple of feet i mean. The idle zoooooooooooooomms up to 4000rpm Im not sure what it is, anyone experienced similar issues? any advice would be really appreciated. as i would like to fix this asap! Thanks Charly
