Yeah sorry about delay, thanks for replies!
Mine a 96 1.7 (carby)
Main problems were brakes which I seemed to have fixed with a caliper rebuild kit
The other problem is a stuttering/hesitation at half throttle.
If stripped and cleaned the carb and it all looks OK.
Its idles fine, full throttle is OK too.
Any ideas?

hey
I had problem's with the stock carb and bolted a webber 32/36.
Cheap easy fix that gave more power and did'nt stall on steep climb's.

I just bought an 89 Lada off ebay the other week. It's only driven on and off a trailer so far. The only mod I plan so far is a narrow pair of shoes
