Sounds like a real nice 126. And remember, it's a 380...

Just thought I'd welcome you to the forum too, and to the select group of 380SE owners. I took the trouble to acquire the chassis and engine manuals for mine, the electrical troubleshooting manual, and the heating, A/C, and climate control manual, all in paper copy off EBay over a 3-4 year period. You really shouldn't have many issues with that gem you bought, but we look forward to helping you out here as the need arises....

Thanks
Thanks Kyle I took it to Kelowna yesterday and she ran like a top. I am having a bit of a problem when I start it, it doesn't go and then because of the efi it is hard to start the second time. Oscar said he had something repaired with that but not sure what, it is going to the shop tuesday so will ask them, other than that it is a great ride.

Newbie Here!
Hey, all!
Gotta love forums. My 380 is from California, in white over tan leather, with chrome factory alloys. Just turned 187,500 miles (300K). As soon as this snow goes away, it's coming out to play . Anyone know if a thermostat is an easy job on this car? Mine always runs cold, which leads to too much fuel, which leads to a little black smoke under heavy throttle. PS. Nice car, Mr. Blackmore! I'll be posting pics of mine shortly. |

Hey Pete, is it hard to start hot or cold ? Does it crank over at normal speed ?

Starting
Hello Kyle, it does it just when it is cold, cranks ok, its just if it doesn't go it is hard to get it the secod time as it is like it is flooded. It is going to the indy on tuesday.
To the newbie like me can't wait to see your photos.

Cleaner
What is a good cleaner and conditioner for my leather interior and the wood. Also a good cleaner for the exterior.
Thanks

This stuff is good I've heard http://www.leatherique.com/
I use the Eagle One leather cleaner and conditioner on my car, Maguiars makes one as well or get it at the dealer.On the wood, just a damp cloth. Interior plastic bits I use 303 aerospace protectorant. Outside vinyl and rubber I use Maguiars #40. Car wash I use the Turtlewax Zip wax car wash. I buy what is available at Lordco or Costco. Just don't use Armorall, period.
