Hi, I just bought a 95 SE 2.5 5 spd with 91K on it. Checked with Ford and there are no outstanding recalls on the car. Is there anything I should be checking on. Car runs and drives out great.

I heard about the plastic wp impeller. Going to go ahead and replace that next week just to be safe. Any other info that I need. I plan on modifying it a little over time, so will probably ask more ? later.

Thanks in advance.

There were some recalls in the past, so you might want to make sure theyve been taken care of. Some off the top of my head are blower fan resistor, catalytic convertor, and hvac blower only coming out defrost.

its actually a pretty good car especially for a first year model. changing the water pump to a metal impellar one is a very good idea to prevent a possible problem. i know the headlight switches were recalled in the 98's, but i dunno about the 95.

Check your underhood wiring to make sure it is not cracking. It is under warrenty until 100K but you have to have a problem with it before they will do anything about it.

check that the parking brake cables have been replaced and have the assist springs in stalled or the cables will freeze over the winter
