Well fixing.......

So far off my broken list I have

Found a broken sway bar bracket bushing- fixed that

Replaced the missing ler and I have to pick up a new tailpipe (I'm excited it'l be the first time this car has had a tailpipe!)

Still much more to go but these two little things have realy given me the motivation I needed.

Also after flushing the cooling system (if having it boil itself out 4 days in a row counts) it has actually not overheated! It was fine yesterday and today.

Oil? Don't need no stinkin oil! Plus its got over a 1/4 million miles she gona use some oil! :pbb:

I hate to think the rear main seal is bad as I put a new one in only 10 months ago when I changed transmissions.... I actually think it is leaking from the valve covers again.

Well I'm fixing her no matter what. This car has never ever ever left me stranded for the nearly two years I've owned it (don't seem that long does it john?), there have been some times when I've sat for up to an hour but by golly she started and drove home.

So Yay me!:grinno:

Maybe you had an air pocket in the coolant system?

GO cougarse GO whoop that cat into shape. I know it is tuff to see the light at the end of the tunnel sometimes but you are getting there. So keep it up. It always helps when you have a group of people that are here to kick you into gear and keep you motivated. And blu84302 it is very nice to drive a 5spd fox.
