    At least you now have a good idea of what the problem is or has been.

    I might be done with this thing, it's taken all my money already including some I don't have.

    That's a bummer... If you do decide to fix it...look for someone else to do the work. I would not trust these guys based on their past performance. After installing the valves they should have done a compression test to make sure everything was up to snuff, and then a leak down test if they found any problems. Let us know the outcome. I wish you the best...

    Yeah, you guys are getting a butt-kicking. It just missed us -- just cold and rainy in Dallas.

    I'm on my way to California right now (in-flight wifi). I'll think about you in my short sleeves. ;)

    My MINI is at DFW airport right now, where it has been for most of December. It will need a spa treatment when I get home -- whenever that is.

    A long time ago, back in High School when I deliver pizza for Dominos I had one of these in my car for seeing house numbers at night.

    Good luck on the sale. Sad, but if you feel it is the right thing to do.

    Sounds like your dealer is taking good care of you. Guess they never heard of expedited shipping. I bet your wife is missing her baby.
