Let's see if I can hit a bunch of stuff in onr response here... > how is the frame underneath the car I haven't really had a chance to get under there and give it a good look. That probably was a newbie mistake, too late now. I'll have to get it up in the air at my mechanic's and get some photos. > Make sure all of the recalls have been done I haven't been able to find a listing of them; can sommeone provide pointers? I see the fan fail relay has been replaced with wires with fuses, and the plastic coolant tank has been replaced with a stainless one... what's next? > Every time I clear 1 item off my list I usually find 2 more! Heck, every time I drive it I find more. Just yesterday I noticed the drivers side mirror was jiggly at high speeds, and the rear-view mirror glue is loose. > replace ALL of the fluids Hmm, that emphasis seems to imply something more than a cooling system flush and an oil change. Clutch fluid, brake fluid, what else? > I recommend a new cooling fan breaker I figured I'd have to replace that. I've seen a couple of people suggest higher-amp breakers than original -- anyone have any thoughts on that? I could see the benfits of higher-amp relays, but changing breakers make me nervous; they're supposed to be at a specific value to protect other parts... I would be concerned about putting in a 40-amp breaker in place of a 20 or 25, for fear of damaging something downstream or risking a fire, since the breaker wopn't trip until there's much more load on the circuit than was intended. Thanks for the responses, both on-list and off. --Scott [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
