Hi there, new to the forum scene but not the 914. I've had my 75 1.8 for about 26 years now. I stopped driving it at least 10 years ago because of a leaky fuel injector, up til then it was a great daily driver. I had the best mechanic on the planet until he decided to get into computers so needless to say I've been a bit shy to entrust my car to another. I realize that I have now caused myself a ton more problems by letting it sit. I would love to get it back on the road where it belongs. I stumbled onto this site and was excited to see so many others who appreciate these fun little cars. I'm no mechanic, I've tackled smaller tasks, but spent many hours alongside mine and am fairly familiar. I guess my question is this... where do I even start????

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) Your in luck. These are very simple little cars to maintain and you just landed on the best resource in the universe. Lots of info here but your not going to understand some of it in the beginning. To help you with the terminology and location of some of these parts you will need to go on ebay/amazon and buy a Haynes manual for the 914. Next, you will want to buy a good quality floor jack and 4 wide base jack stands. I won't be able to help with the LJet but lots of others here will.
