Hi cap'n,

Course it's ok, all Autozam's welcome, and well done for the rescue!

Standard faults are few and far between - the cars are very reliable,
but you can expect isolated problems at that age. I would say the most
likely are the igniter in the distributor (was fixed in the '94 models)
and cracking of the corrugated air pipe between the airbox and the
throttle body, but, having said that, you may experience neither.

A good learning resource is the bulletin board at www.mx-3.com.
Searching will tell you just about everything there is to know about
these cars - only ask once you've searched, because most questions have
been answered over and over again :-)
