Of course, there is a long list of poor judgements made by the designers of these cars (dilivar studs, ****ty wiring practices, a steering wheel used in the 1980s that looks like it belongs in a station wagon or bread delivery truck, etc., etc.) so the factory did not always know best.  |
Ronnie, you know what? You're right, I forgot about that spec and was the reason I tried it.
Thanks for jogging memory.
