Dear Vanagoneers-

I've managed to inspire a friend to purchase an '85, but among other things it has the following faults:

1) a broken temp gauge & broken fuel gauge

2) and a sticking high idle (at around 3000).

I've never personally had to deal with these things on my Vanagons, so I am at a loss of what to suggest. I'd like to help him sort these things out, and can give further details, if needed.

My friend is mechanically un-inclined, so I, or a shop, will be carrying out the repairs.

Any suggestions of what to look into?

Tom --
