Too much cloud in melbourne aswell, i think every last astronomical event I tried to see for the last 5 years has been ruined by bad weather.

Total lunar eclipse tonight

I also read if theres enough dust in the atmosphere the moon should appear blood red.

Id replace the thermostat, if the needle moves the temp sender is probably working but your thermostat is stuck open, It takes forever to warm up when they stick open. I had to replace mine, cost under $15 from memory and was fairly easy, It would have been even easier if I had a scraper/razor blade...

Check around the windscreen for rust, I think it's a pretty common place for it. Other than that check the usual places: storage box in the rear, bottoms of quarter panels and doors, firewall, tailgate etc. For that price is should be in very good condition, id get a mechanic to inspect it to make s...
