Hi folks, I hope I've just joined and hope I'm in the right place.
I'm from the UK and can't find a UK site like this, so I thought I'd give this one a try.
I've recently bought a 1998 3.3ltr Petrol(sorry Gas) automatic with 98k on the clockand I wanted to know if there are any problems that I should know about.

Thanks

Welcome
It is good that someone is writing from across the pond. the most problems you may see is the input or output speed sensors on the transmission. If one goes out the transmission will go into fail safe mode or limp-in mode. And do write if you have problem, or if just want to write. Leonard

 

Welcome I have found tons of info on this site!
I know you will to!

 

Thanks folks, the only problems I've had so far is that the bracket the A/Csits onsnapped and the serpentine belt came off.
The only other thing is that due to a light being left on my battery went flat,I charged it back up but now whenever I start the car, the lights around the stereo flash for about 10 mins before going back to normal.
I know it's not that much of a problem but it's really annoying, can it be easily fixed?

 

That means that the control head has lost its calibration settings. Try this with the engine running and let it do its thing for about a minute and report back. There are other things to try if this doesn't work.
