I was trying to get to the brake switch at the pedal to rule out any issues there..
Oh boy!! posted another thread yesterday (someone said it was a bit of a wiggle job) I'd say.. just to get to the two allens that hold the kick board i had to basically remove the carpet, half my console and after all that I still can't get the kick board out.. The carpet had holes for the clutch pedal, brake pedal, accelerator pedal and even a separate hole for the rod behind the gas pedal (which I ended up just putting a slice into that small hole or I might still be there).. Now still can't get the kick board out but I lifted it and after removing a small mouse nest i can barley see what I think is the switch...man.. Should have started with the switch at the master?? why two switches any advice on the kick board and pedal switch?    |

After 35 years of opels, Fords, BMWs, etc, I have to say, the 914 is the easiest car I have ever worked on. Besides the little issue of rust, I would say it is really well designed for the owner to fix everything without crazy tools or skills. From the engine to the suspension. Overall an excellent car to maintain.

Ok..I've just always head to kinda stay away not sure why.. they do seam very similar to a VW 1975 bus I had engine wise other things too...just always heard they are a pain, I guess some mechanics just want to work on Fords and Chevy's others can work on anything... Some people are afraid of the unknown and not willing to try..I'm willing to try and learn as much as I can but I do feel limited in my skill level..
