Today on my way home from work i managed to light the
oil pressure light twice while driving like a maniac around
a corner and a freeway exit ramp, and i started to wonder,
am i in a very bad mood today and therefore driving faster
than i ever did, or has something happened? The oil level
was fine, and i have never experienced this before,
how about you guys, how hard to you have to take a turn
to get the oil pickup dry?

Next topic, i discovered that the headlight high pressure
washers are indeed working, but the pump isn't getting
any juice, there is a relay-like looking box dangling by
the pump, it says something in german, like
reinigenautomatik or something, is this just a device to
keep the pump running for X seconds, once triggered?
As a matter of fact i havent even checked if i get power
to this "relay", i got pissed when i couldn't find the circuit
in the haynes manual ( which is a lousy book, don't
know why i bought it...)

Speaking of haynes schematics, i was looking for the cooling
fans circuitry, but could only find one fan in the diagram, i
wonder if they are in parallell, i seem to remember that one
of my fans only works in one speed, but don't remember for sure.

In the next diagram, there were _three_ horns, two regular and
one air compressor horn, anyone found the two remaining horns ;-)
OK, i might buy that there are two regular horns ( when i was out
of signaling capabilities i found and replaced one horn in front of
the right wheel, is there another in front of the left, i thought that
location was occupied by the charcoal canister),
but the compressor horn!!
