Great video Bryan. Did you do anything about the burnt looking wire? Were you able to drive without a steering wheel nut? :) I'm thinking it might be a mistake to do this job and not budget some time to fix stuff like the burnt wire, dead bulbs, ripped out wires, and so on. Speaking of; has anyone tried to replace the heater core with a more common part? (ie, one that is less than 200$) I need to do this job, but it looks like I won't care again until the autumn now that it is getting warmer. Tom |
