Nothing to report on the Dart, progress has stalled in fitting the new fuel line. However the Playstation 3 decided to give up the ghost and wouldn't turn on. Well actually it would, beep 3 times and then shut down immediately. This is known as the Yellow Light Of Death or YLOD. Searching t'internet reveals a fix involving new thermal paste (Artic Silver #5) and a heat gun to reflow the solder. Did this and now it's all working again and the kids can watch Netflix again.
The Expedition went to the garage last week for a transmission flush, a new fuel filter and an A/C check (as it's not been blowing that cold recently). Got it back and the air was ICE cold but I was warned that the compressor was showing signs of wear. "It could last 5 years like that mate" was the mechanics opinion, however it lasted just 5 days and now there's no A/C at all. Back to the garage today and am now looking at a $1200 repair bill.
