Interesting take on the temp gauge. I found this same poor connection when I replaced the sendor on mine - poor connection = high resistance = inaccurate gauge!

PS - just LUV the translation 8)

And how the Japanese change/bleed the coolant :D I think this might be where the confusion of turning on the A/C before bleeding comes from - the translation calls the A/C the "heating"

I love this bit about the broken anti roll bar bracket........................

Damaged stabilizer holders fixed


Overcome with a little rough road, from the back of the car "clackety-clack" sound. On the initial package (toolbox) and I have a vibration in the sound, I tried to change the baggage on the way, boost the sound. Return to home depot, NOZOKIKON seen in the below.

Sorry Mike - didn't give you credit- it was through another of your posts that I got it. WordTranslator on the Google toolkit does a reasonable job..................
