Re: Radiator lower hose change
I also wanted to add something to this discussion :-" You will still need to bleed the system of any trapped air as well :-? The bleeder screw is up by the T'stat housing [-o< It helps to have the car pointed slightly uphill if possible, and with the engine running, open the screw to allow any trapp...

Power steering hydraulics refresh - Plus :)
When does it ever end :-({|= While test driving after exchanging the rear springs, I noticed that the power steering was whining louder than "normal", admittedly this has been leaking for quite some time, and such a dirty mess that I really didn't want to deal with it :cry: In fact, I am embarrassed...

Re: Fixed my saggy butt - rear spring replacement
Hey Bert, it was a great feeling to finally get at least the rear pair of these springs in
I only took a short drive, as my power steering is whining and that's my next issue to address

Hmm

Fixed my saggy butt - rear spring replacement
Yes, it's true, I've had these springs from Bert for years :roll: While doing some other work in the rear recently, I noticed rubber bits sitting on the spring perches, and thought that the pads were disintegrating :-? Turns out it was just the closed cell foam bump stops that apparently aren't even...
