Hey List Friends....

Not too long ago my beloved van was sitting in the parking lot of the local Air Force Exhcange pissing oil out from behind the oil cooler. I was completely without technical information.... it was snowing.... and I didn't know where to start. A kind listmember emailed me a scan of the exploded view of the engine area revealing the probable culprit as the o-ring seal behind the oil cooler. Without this information I would have had to call a tow truck and spent at least a few hours at the local auto hobby shop BEFORE I actually determined the fault and then effect repair. What a powerful aid that one image was to me. Of course, I want my own Bentley and will get one soon.... but what a great way for one vanagoner to help another.
