Hi Neil

Thanks for the reply and also all the tips you have given me. Found
it interesting re the oil but looks as if they us 15w 40 that is what
I was most intersted in.

I will contact Proton re the cable just a pain having to get it over
to them and pick it back up but I guess it is there problem.

Sorry for the lack of information about myself

my name is Peter Gibbs, I live in Queanbeyan my email is
myglsi@... I have been searching for a ute for sometime I
located this one in Sydney and brought it last Friday, it was on
carpoint it could well be still listed there.

I work for the ACT RTA and they guys vehicle examiners here say the
cars are good cheap transport and have not heard of to many problems
with them.

The service book says I can run it on ULP but they guy I brought it
off ran it on E10 but I have been told here at work to run it on
95 ?? any thoughts

Thanks for the help

Peter

the fuel cap release. It's only a cable but it may have come loose
where the outer case is clamped and probably not hard to fix,but I
have never had a look at mine. Your beat oil question??well if you
ask 10 people you will get 10 different answers. I don't know what
was in mine when I bought it new,but at the 1000km service,they used
Valvoline formula 5000,at 10000km service they used Castrol GTX
Protec 15w-40,at the 20000km service they used castrol gtx
professional 15w-40. So you have 3 different oils from the same
service center.And at every 5000km interval between services I use
castrol GTX 15w-40 and haven't any dramas with anything.

Older protons I have seen all have window problems,glass falls out of
track. Of course this could depend on your cleaning and maintainance
routine.
