I also forgot to add that I've been having over heating issues lately. Car runs cold in the winter so I'm thinking I'll start by replacing the thermostat. I had it flushed this last winter so fluid levels are good. Thoughts? Thanks again.

Replacing the thermostat solved an overheating problem on my '95 855 shortly after I bought it 3 years ago. I'm going to swap in new thermostats & temp. sensors on this and my '96 855 as well in a month or so. The temp. sensor which lives with the thermostat is apparently a maintenance item with reasonable failure rate, so you may want to think about replacing it as well.

Rob
