Interior lights, speedo, fog lights
but currently I need to get my car inspected. When I had my accident I lost my park, fog and indicator. I need my indicator to be inspected and I put in a new bulb today. Didn't work. Will check the fuse tomorrow.

1. PSD
2. RH lock can be flaky with Central Lock system.
3. RH lock sometimes doesn't want to deactivate alarm.
4. Passengers seat rear base adjustment stuck.
5. Occasional clunk in RH rear suspension.
6. Radio antenna and cable
All in all not bad for a 20 year old car I gave $7,800 for almost two years ago. Of course, I have sunk $4k to $5k so far in getting things right (HVAC, TB/WP, cooling system rebuild, fuel+PS+trans lines, front susp., etc. etc. etc)

I have fla plates. Just got my Ga liscense and need Ga plates. To do so you have to pay 15 bucks and get it inspected. Do not see how I will pass w/out a blinker. Fog lights shouldn't make a difference. I hope.

- Both rad. fans need replacing.
- T.T bearings are complaining-little bit.
-Need a plastic gear for passenger seat.
- Could use new front spoiler. Have the old one which was used as a plow one winter and came off. - - -Front wheel drove over it and some tear in it-damn- expensive.
-Idiotic exclamation mark lights up everytime I brake.
-Some clearcoat peel on the roof.

- Owner, needs house to get her back and proud again.- Spring.

I'm sure a lot of things also, but interior lights were working I fixed that pretty quick ( need to fix the door switch now ). Doing the brakes as soon as the ebrake shoes make it in, haven't tested the cruise yet but would not be surprised, None of the washers work, need to do the back axles ( found that one at Gregs ) and replace the front tie rod. The list should go on but this will do for now, just got an email from Paul, my window switch setup is ready so i'll replace the stereo while I install those.

I have been here in georgia for a very long time and have never heard of having a car inspected to get tags, other than a emissions inspection, which yours is exempt due to age.

I keep a list of things that do not work, or stop working on my car, or there are problems with the way that they work.
Right now my washers for the windshield have gotten stopped up again, they have been blown out a couple of times, but on a black car in the south, it will be problems that will continue I am sure.
I am going too replace the check valves and filters to see if that helps them to last longer between blowing the dried up crud out of them.
My head lamp washers do not work, or I do not know how to activate them, really don't care about that one.
My cruise control does not work as well as I would like, it has about a 4-5 MPH variation in speeds and always drops 2-3 MPH in speed when set.
I did put a rebuilt module in it, at least that made it work, the vacuum system is sound.
The pod lights are not as bright as I would like, for the standard reasons I am sure, it does have a new dimmer switch in it.
The door locks have locked by them self four times, weird.
One of the lumbar supports is not right, not sure why, but you can hear the motor try to move, must be jammed some place or the motor is weak.
The bulb is gone from the hood light, my choice.
That is the list of things on my car that does not work the way it should have when new.
What is wrong with your car that you would like to repair?
Or is there any thing that needs to be done now to bring the services up to date?
Like a timing belt service or fluid changes, hoses, etc?
On that side of mine, I am replacing the fuel hoses at the rear after reading of the one burning a few weeks ago.
When I got this car the list was at least five pages long of things that needed work, just simple one line things that stated a problem, like
No ebrake
Dim left tail light
fuel lines, etc
I had five pages of this kind of stuff and it took four years to get it all done, before I could even think about mods.
The thread about buying the wrong car made me wonder if any cars out there have zero issues.
Mine has gotten to that point several times, then I drive it.
