Thumbs up Getting my feet wet!

Well having a dream car in your driveway is an intimating thing, so it's a small thing but important one The last time I took my 1990 coupe out it started to get hot, so I had my lady bring me a couple gals of water to get the system back to level. the next week she had total knee replacement so focus was on her but weather snapped to cold then the focus comes back to my other lady and I drained the coolant and replaced with the proper mixture, now I'm used to American cars with lots of room and easy access so looking at the things you have to do to just do a pretty simple maintenance procedure, was a little overwhelming that being said it's just a little harder but well worth the effort. I sleep well knowing my second lady is safe in the cold weather and I have confidence I'm not over my head. Mainly because forums like this have so much info that if you look you will find the answer to your issues!!
Just a word of Thanks and encouragement for those like me that it's OK to stretch your envelope!!

Hey, Brother.

You're in the right place! No doubt!

So,,, big question is what's next, where are you going to start. Anything acting up on the ol 1990?

Hopefully you read Grant's instructions on how to properly refill and bleed the cooling system. If not, you'll want to do that right away otherwise you'll have air trapped in the system and that's a big no-no.
