Just an update since I'm going through my other threads on here; I'm not driving this in the winter due to the anti-ice spray. It's a summer car.

I'll also be changing the oil and the transmission fluid. I flushed and changed the coolant; That old fluid was all rusty, it needed changed. I need to stick a new thermostat in; the current one which I put in is a failsafe thermostat that permanently opens just below where the book says the heater opens at. So, I made a boo-boo by not checking. Sometimes, the more expensive option isn't the best one.

EDIT I'm not sure the failsafe thermostat permanently opens at that temperature. I don't actually know what the "Overheating" temperature is!
