I have to second the recommendation for Water Wetter. It's well known and respected in the Mustang world. A side note, my mom tells me her 94 Eurovan Westfalia is overheating in traffic (in Germany). She's gonna take it into the dealer to try and have it diagnosed, but I was a little disappointed that such a new vehicle would have a problem like that... I'll report on it if I learn anything interesting. She just got back from a 6-week camping trip in it, btw... drove all the way to the arctic circle and beyond, with no trouble. Some people have all the fun, *jeez*!
