Thanks all. Between the web sites and threads and the information from everyone, I think I have everything I need. Michael, the car has about 47K on it. Regarding tricky coolant change, he has a machine that pumps out the old and pumps in the new after a flush. I think it hooks into one of the heater hoses. If the old stuff looks pretty good, I'll ask him to just flush with water before refilling.

Any idea if this type of equipment will deal with the tricky part, or are we still likely to have problems? If there is a good chance I will have a problem, I'll get him to test the old stuff first and determine whether or not it actually needs changing.

The car has been through a number of owners over the years (5 or 6 I think), and I have no idea what has been done to it, so I wanted to start fresh with everything if I can. Cheap peace of mind.
