Always check your seals before charging your ac. I have a slow leak which kept system charge over the winter but not enough to keep the compressor engaged. Went you use my charge pipe and met with this.

Mine will be leaving in a similar fashion in the next week or so! Delta link came down today... just need to pull the rack, hatch struts, and a couple other things.

Then figure out how to get it to the scrap yard with no rear subframe... should be able to drag it onto a trailer on dollies.

Sorry, thats a typo on my part. ZC32S, one gen newer, 12 extra Shetland ponies.

Yeah, I feel sorry for Americans. You miss out on so many fantastic cars, because your general population seems to believe that a car must be the size of a small house and weigh the same as a beluga whale to be worth considering. I mean, you can't even buy a Focus in the US anymore. The average person apparently needs a LWB Escalade or a dually F350 to nip to Walmart.

Once the rear is in dollies, why do you need the trailer?
