This and that

Hi there....


I've got a few more questions about my AU II Falcon Futura...I tried to find the answers over the search option but the answers were not satisfying.


1. is it normal that the radiator stays cold even if the temperature gauge is sitting in between "N" and "O" of the word NORMAL on the instrument ?


2. is the Falcon equipped with a steering wheel lock ( the one that locks in when you turn the steering wheel slightly after pulling off the ignition key and you can only unlock it by putting in the key again and turn the ignition ) .I tried it...mine doesn't do it

3. when I turn the steering wheel while the car is standing or when its going really slow, it feels like something is vibrating ( a chubby noise like rubber is rubbing on rubber ). With a slightly higher RPM it doesn't do it .....does anyone know what that could be ?

4. are there any lubricants that can reduce the whining noise of the differential ? And why is my diff actually only whining in the first gear...as soon as the tranny shifts its gone ....

5. when I make a left or a right turn I can sometimes feel a slight clunk in the steering column...do I have to worry about that ?


Thanks for any advice.....
