Like Joe Dokes stated - don't be put off by all my issues. Everything can be fixed and that is the reason for all my detailed posts - to show how I addressed them. Look at other posts as well. For example - I decided to go with the FAST system, but there are lots of other alternatives and more surfacing all the time.I know I'm facing more challenges (eg clutch actuators coming up) and I'll let you know about them as well.
