Glad to hear you've sorted the battery problem. Might be worth checking your gear linkages from lever to gearbox and make sure they are all tight and moving freely. Oil any parts that need it.

these are typical kitcar issues, they always need a bit of attention, its all part of the fun. Eventually it will run out of things to go wrong!

I dont mind doing thing, I like it actually but the problem is my lack of knowledge I am an architect you see nothing to do with engines..
How can I check my gear linkages? Where is the lever and what is it? I know what a gearbox is but I dont know where is it. Any pics and info will be very helpfull!

The gear linkages are the parts that connect the bit you use to change gear, to the gear shaft on the engine.

This could be either a series of aluminium tubes or cable.

Yes. You will also be able to see the linkage when you take the bonnet off. Just get someone to move the gear lever backwards & forwards, whilst you're looking at the back of the engine, near to where the propshaft connects to the engine. (Without the engine running, obviously)
