thanks dave, I've done most of that (recently replaced every inch of hose on the car, and checked compression)

I'll check for any wiring faults.

After looking at the schocks, I'm reasonably sure they are konis. Regardless, I'm leaving them in becuase they are nice and stiff.

One more thing... anybody know how to get out some oil that leaked onto the exhaust and got between the heat exchangers and the exhaust pipes themselves. Is there a way to get the exchangers off, short of cutting them with and oxyacetylene (sp) torch?
