Default Finally got one!

Well my wife's 1984 BMW finally died - computer failure- and I do not have time to work on her so I went out and found a 1995 960 with 140k miles on her. So it is good bye Fritzie, Hello Anika!
The 960 feels as solid as my Mercedes and she is fast, much faster than the BMW. I paid beans for Ankia and everything works, except the AC. I did have to replace one of the big 50 AMP fuses, the one that does the seats, radio, clock, etc as it had blown - any ideas as to what could have blown that fuse? I played with everything and the fuse has not blown since so I am hoping it was just age.

I am loving this car as I have always liked the rear wheel drive pre-Ford Volvos and now I am hooked.

Anybody have tips and tricks - things to look out for, etc?

Thanks!

Congrats on getting Ankia! Not much to look out for with those other than the timing belt, parking lights, and power seats getting stuck on one side or the other. Timing belt is kinda easy to do yourself, parking light problem is usually a bad bulb and the seat problem is usually a cable. Oh, I always have problems with my ignition not returning all the way to II position so I turn it back myself.

Have fun, I really like my 960, I'm on my 2nd and gave 2 away to family members.
