Default New To AFF

Just wanted to say hi to everyone.

I just purchased a 2000 V6 5sp Cougar S/W. This cat has a few K's on her (224k) but she drives like new. I got her from a dealer and the previous 2 owners (both women) maintained her very well, she had a full service history so I'm not too bothered about the high K's.

I'll post some pics later.

True story. Last year I bought a Daihatsu Sirion 1L 3 banger (112k K's on it)from a young girl for 600 bucks no air con no power steer nothing stock as a rock, the Cougar at the dealer had a window price of $3,990 on her. Well get this, I outsold the salesman and got $2500 for the Sirion.
So my new baby cost me $1400 ( bargain eh ).

She does have 1 small problem with a power steering high pressure line leak. Only minor but very annoying. I got a complete new line from RockAuto.com. My mechanic says he has to drop the motor to get to the bottom connection at the rack.
Is this true? Is there any other way to swap the h.p line.
Oh btw it is the line that comes out of the top of the PS pump right behind the pulley.

Cheers in advance for any advice.

Todd

P.S. glad I found AFF
