Squeezing subframe bushings out with weight of car

Tried pushing the bushings out with the subframe in situ and replacing with 95A bushings. Had good results, just finishing up the clean up tomorrow and will take it for a spin. Hopefully it works.

Convertible motor hydraulic fluid

Does anyone know any alternatives to the mineral oil they recommend? Would ATF or Power Steering fluid work also?

BKR6E-GP spark plugs for 98 2.8 Single Vanos

Just a bit confused doing my research online about these NGK plugs. They come up as compatible with my engine, but when I dig deeper I see they are gapped at .040" when the standard spec I read is supposed to .032"? What is your opinion are these safe to run or will they run the coils hot over time? I heard single electrode are an upgrade over the original spec 4 pronged electrode which is why I elected for these, and I didn't choose the iridium because it's a weekend car and don't need the longevity of those plugs.

Any idea how to restore climate controls?

Looks like it got faded out but the sun. Ideally without replacing.

Opening the sunroof close to full

Is there any harm to opening the sunroof not all the way, but just before? Thinking of ways to mitigate creasing the window besides putting a towel back there every time.

Our conure recently started chirping like this. Usually she quacks when she is enjoying a good scratch. Any idea if these are mating calls considering it's spring? TIA
