Default New C70, 2001 owner

Hi everybody. Glad this forum is around. I have plenty of questions, but I will search before I ask don't worry. I was a previous owner of a M30 1991 vert and joined this forum: http://forums.f31club.com/phpBB2. Also a good site.

It looks like this site will be just as helpful. Thank goodness.

Since I owned such an old vehicle I feel a bit overwhelmed with the C70. WOW--too many controls. LOL. I have read about 1/3 of the manual (266 pages) to get the gist of things, but I still have a few questions.

Glad everybody is around to help. Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forum, I hope you find it helpful.

Make sure to follow scheduled maintenance on your C70, especially timing belt + its pulleys + tensioner at every 70,000 miles or 5 years.

There's a gentleman by the name of Reg in our forum, and as far as I know Reg & Moderator Tech are the best people to ask questions on the C70s.

Best of luck to you,


JPN

Thanks for the great welcome and advice. I have already visited the C70 forum and I have read the information regarding the timing belt. You guys are on top of it-- great going!!


I will post some OK pics from my iphone. This weekend I will use my digital to get better photos. I'm looking for a billet grill, front lower valance and new dash bling. My bf is working on rims for me too. The previous owner put some cheap plated chrome on my beauty. YIKES!. It makes the C70 look cheap.

Thanks again guys.

BTW, I'm located in Phoenix, AZ.
Oh yeah, my CD changer just keeps circulating the CD's -- what gives?
