Crewzin, thanks for the info. I'll go ahead and change the wheel bearings though, if they go bad often why not. Are they pressed in? YES

I was wondering about a tranny flush vs a change, I will have it done. Seeing that you do not have any maintenance records, just have it flushed. Some do a change at 30K then a flush, do the Flush!!

Because my SO will be driving the car mostly, I think I'd better change the fan. I know it can be unfair but a female watching the gauges? lol.

Heck, I'll end up changing the timing belt myself, it's nice to know I can put it off for a while

Yes, I have the fog lights, and they don't work at all! I thought it was the bulbs. I'll just pull the bulbs.

Hooligan, thanks for the welcome, and I'm sure I'll be posting occasionally, after some wrenchtime I might even have a comment or two!

Qs, I use synthetic in my newest car, which believe it or not is now the 2002 PT! So it gets the good oil and my old land yacht gets the crappy old petroleum based product

Pete
Good luck on all.
