The other day it had been raining and the mixture of rain and the oil dropped overnight by my 96SE . . . on ceramic floor tiles . . . well I returned from work and nearly banged into the wall because even at walking speed it just slid.
So I've put it into the same garage that did a good job on my Aerostar tranny a while back. In US money it'll be $350 for the engine work - it has to be removed - and another $100 to replace a broken front strut.
After that I need to replace an O2 sensor and the odometer and fix the Bose display problem. Then on to the bodywork; I think I'll get some Metalflake Pearlescent for the spray shop.
