THe wife's Ford Expedition is leaking power steering fluid. Traced it down to a power steering cooler in front of the radiator. Really? A power steering cooler? Never heard of one before.

Hard to tell its a line or the unit leaking.
I'd love a DS. A friend of mine had this tatty one years ago but he wouldn't part with it. Sort of lost touch in recent years so I don't know if its current status.Sadly I suspect a reasonable example is out of my budget for the time being. If I were suddenly a rich man a Tatra and/or DS would be near the top of the acquisition list.
Thanks! Its amazing how much the stock wheels transform the look versus the winter CR-V steelies.

They are not to everybodies taste to drive.

I recall you mentioning that you're giving it to a family member within 12 months.So where is your buying thread? Remember all regulars need at least a 10 pages before signing for anything.
Yeah, it does look really good. Even the front bumper doesn't look too road rashed after 240,000kms. I got some work done on the T/A today; replaced the passenger's side power window motor and repaired the front air dam (which was falling off).

I can't recall any of my beater cars she hasn't refused to drive in off the top of my head. Didn't stop me from buying them though.
