     GBR> What's all that about, then?
 
   You haven't owned it long enough, or through winter.  The
   doorhandles are, shall we say, less than well engineered,
   with critical stress points made from POT metal.  You'll
   learn soon enough the joys of the door handle design on
   your car.  A word of advise, lube, re-lube, and lube
   them again at least once a month.

      It'll be a tough winter without the defroster working,
      especially since the heater core is probably leaking
      and the recirculation flap probably isn't working.
      You should fix this stuff before you "have" to fix
      it to see the road.

      Well, SURPRISE, it's the big full size Cadillac size
      compressor.  Same kind as used to be used in Mercedes
      Benz and BMW's.  The system may have it's problems,
      but when it works, it works well.
