Okay, I will spare the details of the six week change of the blower motor.
If you need yucks, let me know and I can send them to you direct.
        Anyway, I had to disconnect the heater tubes to get the blower
motor out. I bled the system and don't think I saw any bubbles when I was
done. I let the system purge for about 5 minutes - is this long enough??
Followed Bentley instructions.
        My blasted oil light also came on, oil level okay, but is that just
due to the poor guy literally sitting for almost 3 months? I intend to
change the oil ( from 10w - 30 to 20W - 50 ) and filter (Mann) before any
more driving. Any other thoughts?
        Thanks
        Mike ( if there is a way to do repairs the hard way, I will find it
- or invent it!!)
