A quick laptop question for the knowledgeable members of the list.
I am going to purchase yet another used laptop. I don't need the latest and
greatest, it will be for web browsing and emails. I will also be used by my

All reassembled now; RR coolant temp. (gauge) sensor (the one on left side
of head by IP) and glow plugs; just took 'er for test drive; previously
erratic temp. gauge holds nice and steady at ~85C. Going now to get 'er
washed.
