1. it has an automatic gear box witch doesnt seem to work properly and im having to manualy cange gear witch i think may be causing my seccend problem.
2 PETROL it seems to be using a hell of alot of petrol ?
3 the radio it is an original radio/casset with i carnt get to work. when i turn it on it semms to be asking for some sort of code so i typed some radom nubers in, now it wont even let me do that none of the buttons respond this is very anoying.
4 yesterday i went shoping and when i got back to my car it had leeked lodes of luqid all over the floor im convinsed its not peterol as it as it had not evaperated how ever my car seemd to smell of peterol inside. the car was working fine and the leak seemd to be driping from the driver seat area when i looked under the car. when i got home it had stoped leeking.

hi mate, first things first.
1. check the gearbox level, if that is ok, check the cables after that it might be the gearbox. how many miles has the car done?
2. you need to get under the car and have a look at the fuel pipes and the fuel filter, see if there are any leaks, with the engine running and not running. check under the bonnet for leaks aswell.
3. the radio needs a radio code which you should have in your handbook if not go to the dealer and ask them for a code, but if the radio is not working at all, sounds like the radio is blocked and you need to send it away to unlock it and set up a new code aswell.
4. this problem sounds like the fuel cut off switch or the hoses under your car, so do the checks on number 2.
see how you get on with that lot and let me know .
cheers, mark
