Hi folks,
I recently acquired an '86 Chrysler Laser XT and I'm finding it a real fun car. I have no doubts I'll be asking questions, probably quite a few about this critter. It runs fine, but there are a few problems to be fixed. I read the thread bout the C/S windshield as mine does need one. the glass shop owner and I haven't been able to figure out how to take the broken one out to this point. Hopefully, this will give us some ideas about that.
Other minor stuff is the tachometer doesn't work, seems to be stuck on 3,000 rpm even with the engine off. Another one is the 12 button display in the top middle of the dash doesn't work, just displays wrong date and time starting from when I replaced the battery but those are a ways down the list at this time.
I mostly mess with old equipment, a D2 and a D4 Caterpillar, older snowmobiles and such. I'm a self taught mechanic, retired machinist/tool and die maker and retired welder.
