As for the MAF, do not try and clean one of our Bosch MAF's, you'll kill it.

First off - let me tell you how lucky we (the forum) is lucky enough to have a guy like Disco Mike!!! What a great guy!
as change the oil and filter.
I did a CarFax and I am the 4th owner - NOTHING major with the car - and the last owner drove it approx. 1200 miles in the last 30 months!!!
There are a few things that stick because of lack of use - but hell - I will get that on the 'honey do list' as well.
Thanks again for all the help (so far!!).

1200 miles in 30 months is a strong indication that it may not have been running at all very often during that time frame. Sitting around neglected is not good for these beasts.
Get it on a lift or get yourself a comfortable creeper and a good light.
I would highly recommend a thorough personal inspection of every system, paying particular attention underneath for leaks and corrosion especially. That will help populate you list.
Get to know her, just like a new girlfriend, explore her intimately, especially under her bottom.
That will tell you a lot about where she's been.Mine was rode hard and put up wet, and I am staying very busy with "refreshing" her. And it is going to take more than a mild female hygiene product to get her ready to take out dancing again.

Mine was treated like the lady she is so no STD's here.

Yeah - I am realizing that the problem that led it up to the sale was a faulty fan in between the grill and the radiator.
I know that is was disconnected, I know that the 40A fuse for the fan was blown, I know that the thermostat blew, and I just found out that after I remove the fan, it would not turn if it's life depended on it!!
I found a guy that is parting his Disco II and he is going to hook me up with a replacement one.... so hopefully that will help.
I did creep around under it a few days ago and it seems pretty clean. I can assume that all I want until I start checking things off of a 'check list' that I will put together.
This is an entirely different beast than what I am used to but am not afraid to get dirty.
Thanks for the input!!
