Often I find the search engine here wanting. Another option which sometimes works better for me is to go to www.google.com, and in the search field type northamericanmotoring.com or NAM in front of my search criteria.

Many times us noobs are unsure of the search criteria, or even which questions we should be asking. The stickies have educated me a lot.

Thanks to all the regular posters here who have answered my questions over the last couple of months. -Last weekend I changed my serpantine belt, and upper right motor mount. All went well. This weekend I think I'm going to change my brake fluid (I have some Ate Blue ), and soon I'm going to tackle changing the LCA Bushings. I've been a decent home-mechanic for 20+ years, but minis have their uniqueness and are a little intimidating to one who has never worked on them. It would be a lot more difficult without your support, so THANKS!!
