    The ignition switch? Wow, I forgot all about that. My emergency switch or... drats. The key won't come out. I've been using the key release button under the steering column for over a year! Always made my cleaner nervous!

    We did the cooling flush. Today I had another person look at it. He drove it around and the radiator was almost completely empty. Maybe I have a leak? He topped it off, cooling and all, and readings were still the same. He didn't go into specifics, but he probably bled the system again.

    Quick question. How often do you have to put in supercharger oil? I never did the 5 years I've had it, cause my mechanic didn't know anything really concerning S/C. Keep in mind I didn't always have it hooked up either. The scratching noise you can hear from inside the car. Mechanic while back had me take a screwdriver to the side of the cone, and you could hear how bad it sounded through that. <<; Honestly that part was weird, but he did get me to unhook my S/C belt again because of it.

    I brought this up with my mechanic too. Isn't not having the S/C hooked up detrimental to the car, esp. since it came with it?

    So the blower resistor... something I can do myself? How about cost? And the a/c knob, any way to loosen the stupid steel bar so it doesn't break the expensive replacements?

    So I don't need a press...? I wouldn't really trust any of the mechanics around here. So if I can do it in a stocked home garage, that'd be nice. But if it compromises core refund if I have to get a new one... might just get new one. I don't really want to risk it unless it's safe.

    $100?! Is that the entire S/C or the nosecone? Either way, Give me a week please. I just had to have emergency surgery to have a wisdom tooth taken out!

    Are you sure you don't want more? I don't want to underpay you if it's in great condition.

    **Well now I feel stupid. Forgot to mention the other reason the S/C was unhooked. I was never getting the full PSI out of it. My info computer always showed half the bar. Just sometimes I could get the PSI to jump to max.
