sometimes its not so much of not having the time, or not having the money -- its having someplace to DO it at!! Fortunately, my brother-from-another-mother, owns his own shop (well, him & his dad), so that's a lucky non-issue. Plus, having been in the biz for 30 years ... I still have 98.6% of all my stuff (~30k worth of tools!!!), stored in my mother garage (good thing she has a Corolla!) my 2 most prized tools: my Fluke meter and digial ocsillyscope. I really LIKE Swordsman's fix ... that's something even the dealer wouldn't have come up with (well, other that if possible, replacing that board!). Shows exceptional diagnostic skill, and the ability to 'think outside the box'
