1. gear linkage keeps popping out, new ones on monday for that.

2. loose gearbox, eg when its in gear, the gear stick has some play, and taking it out gear there is barely any spring to knock it back into neutral.

3. when im driving slowly, or idle after driving slowly, my revs dip real low, car judders and trys to stall it, doesnt tend to do this when ive been driving fast.

4. the temperature gets above halfway always, and the fan comes on even when nipping out driving 10 minutes.

5. rear suspension or something is creaking.

help ideas? lol

1. Consumable part (ish) - replace them

2. Pretty sure most saxo's do that due to wear on the gear selector pin thingy (plenty of threads about it)

3. Check your sensors, lambda, icv etc. etc.

4. Bleed the system and top up with coolant and h20

5. Again, common on saxo's, probably a baring in the rear suspension which is worn and leaving excess play, and needs replacing (which can be pricey due to labour..)

Does it creak if you rock it when stationary?

I have 3, 4 and 5 lol accept mine dies sometimes when it's cold, sometimes it'll say it's on 0 revs but it'll just stay alive but spluttering as if it just about fires to keep running lol.

And my Temperature is always high, even now I've put a VTS rad in it's always on half and if you stop for Traffic lights the fan will come on. I've bled it countless times but then I heard it's normal for Saxo's so I don't think you're the only one, unless it actually over heats I wouldn't worry :)
