HIP HIP HOORRAY ! SHE LIVES !
ABOUT 20 MINUTES AGO I STARTED HER UP A COUPLE TIMES AND QUICKLY TURNED IT OFF AND THEN ON THE 3RD STARTUP I LET IT CRANK AND STAY RUNNING. WENT BACK AND FORTH IN THE DRIVEWAY A COUPLE TIMES TO SCRAP SOME RUST OFF THE ROTORS AND THEN AROUND THE BLOCK !!!! WHEWW HOOOOOO EEEE ! SURE FELT GOOD..... JUST THAT LIL BIT IN THE 3000 AS OPPOSED TO THE VAN FOR 10 MONTHS IS A DREAM. The rain finally let up today around noon so after work was over I took advantage of the twilight hour and put the battery in. So next time I do anything with it will probably be this weekend. I remembered I have to add fixing my windshield washer pump to the list of maintenance as I was driving and it didn't work. lol - I am one happy 3Ser.
I was surprised. I didn't even hear a bit of lifter tick or knock.
