I'm enlightened. > > Has the apprentice become the master? Oh boy! Far from it. Mechanics I can understand, but don't have the time, space and tools to do anything about it - I'd like to though. Electrics and associated systems are becoming less of a mystery to me and I'm finding I can do a lot of the ground work myself. I'm still only half-trained on the 900 8V models which are easy compared to the later 900s (pre-GM of course, which I wouldn't even look at). The first car I ever had to even open the bonnet on, other than for re-filling the screen wash, was an '88 900 turbo with a whole load of aftermarket stuff added. Whoa! What a learning curve. I know what to leave alone with this one, so I don't end up like Disney's apprentice with everything spinning out of control ... I've got the ignition system, cooling system, egr system, and the vac system all figured out now and I'm pretty good at finding faults in these areas and sharing those experiences. I'm still learning with the turbo stuff - the mechanics and theory all make sense, but the APC system still needs some understanding. The in-car systems are starting to fit together now I can actually see it better (through the speaker apertures, eh? Duh!). Paul
