Seriously.
Congratulations on the current state of your wiring.
My 95 960 has twice the mileage as yours and I live in a desert. Both are mitigating factors.
Understand that you are now going steady with the Prom Queen. It's a beautiful ride, when it works. But she is an expensive date.
Production volume was low, so aftermarket manufacturers are not inclined to make parts, you will pay through the nose for anything that breaks. In my opinion, the car is severely over-engineered. I personally have had many many serious problems.
If I was unable to fix my own car...... in the 2.5 years I have owned it, repairs bills at the dealer would surely have exceeded $12,000. Because I am resourceful and have multiple wholesale accounts around town, my parts costs have been contained to around $4,000. This is way too much in 2.5 years.
Stick around the BB and learn all that you can friend. Do it now, while it is in good running order. Please don't bookmark the page, then come back with a message titled "HELP!!" when something breaks.
READ Steve Ringlee's FAQ. In fact, do what I did and print out a copy. Keep it in the john. Read it during that 10 minute interlude each morning.
KNOW that car.
Thats my 2 cents. Keep the change.
