Default Test drove a FD3
So I test drove a FD3 the other day and have a few questions.

1) I got the smell of coolant under the hood, how do I know if its the AST or something else?

2) The shifter could rotate a little. Is that an easy fix?

3) The door to the compartment on the driver door was gone, how hard is it to replace?

Thanks guys

Sorry man not a FD guy here, but I'll try. Do you notice any leaks, is the car overheating?

What do you mean by the shifter can rotate a little? Is the knob turned?

Is the whole interior door panel missing, if so a new one is not hard to put in.

Does it feel loose & sloppy? If so replace the shifter bushing yes.
