With 17 years of owning these two P2s, I was able to check off about 80% of the list--90% of those repairs done with my labor.

So that leaves about 20% of the list in the things-that-could-go-wrong-next category. I think I'll get my doctor to prescribe something for depression. :|

Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

front cam seals at 119,ooo miles. Repair shop said this was not unusual. Total cost for ALL seals, camgear, timing chain, serpentine belt , tentioner, oil and filter and, unrelated...replaced the leaking power steering resevoir and hose...$1600.00!!!
This was a catastrophic failure, not a little leak. Huge amount of oil blew out all at once.

Dash cracked from firewall. Afraid to tackle that job by myself. Don’t want to break something else in the process.
