It is safe. the manufacturer would tell you to do it if it wasn't (unless it was toyota). any way it is better to run in two wheel than four. will save you money. it's less wear and tear on the system.

No idea here no experiance but try asking at the dealers as it could be something simple like a oxygen sensor failure as these older cars are not electronicly loaded

The following are the general instructions on the start of diagnosing any electronically controlled engine or transmission problem.

The engine and the automatic transmission (transmission control is only for automatics, engine is still computer controlled no matter the transmission type) in this vehicle are computer controlled and in most cases when a fault occurs a fault code is stored in the memory of the computer control module. There are exception to this, such as the Mass Airflow Meter and fuel pressure problems. What must be done is to have all the basic testing done such as a scan of the system for fault codes as well as a check with a live data scanner tool for engine functions that are not within range of normal, a trained technician is required to know what is correct and what isn't, then based on careful diagnostics done from a factory repair manual the correct part is replaced or the wiring repaired or the computer replaced (known as the PCM), which is very rarely the problem. Other basic checks must be done as well such as mechanical problems with the engine as well as engine state of tune and mileage on the engine. The transmission can have mechanical issues as well such as no gear engagement at all or a failed pump or other pressure related problems. Also engine mechanical problems ca cause many drive-ability related problem such as rough idle and other symptoms

R12, you can still buy it on eBay

R12 & it is no longer availYou have to change the system over toR134aNot worth it

are u talking about the front main seal? if so ,yes u have to take the trans. out to replace

Not on an axle, on the side of the case

try a bad thrust bearing or stuffed pressure plate

fuel pump

nothing. they are breather hoses

Yes you do need them. It is the transmission cooler. No you will not be able to use the new radiator.

if it had R12 when new, it can be converted by a technician

i too have this car an the problem that my car will run but no wipers or stereo the as yr driving it clicks on . i tried everything fuses etc then i realised it was to do with the ignitiion and now if i jus wiggle it a wee bit it comes on straight away. or just turn car off straight away and try again .. this is how i came to conclusion it was my ignition i might not be right but its a quick fix.. hope this helped a lil bit ? KT:)

Check your thermostat by taking it out and either replace it or put it in boiling water for few minutes using a piece of wire to pull it out and se if it is opening up at the top. You will see it opening from a closed position. Water pumps usually go as other maintenance item do. There is a small 1/8 hole drilled at the bottom of most water pumps and when they go bad they usually *** water/coolant from the small hole indicating a bad bearing inside the pump. That's a definite replacement in this case.
