Bernie,

I just love having those "rare and unusual" failures. I was amongst the
first to have the BPV stall symptoms and also the WGFV failure along with
the burned hose under the heat shield. Thanks to Ned for picking those off!
May as well toss in rear tranny mounts and driver shaft too whilst I think
about it. At least no wrinkle in the rear fender wells or broken radiator
nipple.( replaced by PO about 110k ago).
