Tom half of your problem sounds like youve bought a bit of a pup. Mine is 20 years old and I love it
Your tyres must be shit cos I cant lock the wheels in mine even in the wet but it stops very quickly
Got a glow plug stuck in the head, no problems, I bought a whole new engine for £30. The cold start probably needs you to adjust the cable, I had to do mine.
Also i dont find it unstable, Ive done 250 motorway miles in the last 2 days, keeping up with the flow of traffic and the wind/slipstreams have no effect.
Yes its painfully slow and dosent accelerate but it reminds you of how to drive properly using good judgement, anticipation, skill reading the road ahead, positioning and such like cos if you cant accelerate you dont want to slow down so you have to drive well to keep the speed up. They handle surprisingly well (especially on 195 tyres) even on 3 wheels i cant get it to LO-OS.
Oh and my best is now up to 65.1mpg
