    rad blow out

    I had no warning I was just lucky I was parked at home. My worry is the baffle, and being an auto other mail order states a auto with cooler and a manual with no cooler. I thought the auto diesel, oil cooler is separate to the coolant rad am I wrong?

    Will Not Lock or Unlock!

    Do the windows work? I've seen the wiring in the door gaps corroded out and doing all sorts of funny things like you have said. The one I had would not lock or unlock the internal lock button inop windows not working. If I remember right it's the link wire that joins the door modules together.
