Sorry, guess I didn't put 2and2 together that I was in the Contour 'enthusiasts' Group and that most folks probably aren't a member of the group because they're not happy with, or wanted objective advice, about their Contour.
If it were possible, I would delete the post. Maybe the moderator would be so kind?
In the mean time; Look up CD4E or Mazda 626 on the Internet.
