Hi, Laurent. Hope you get adequate answers to your questions. It sounds as if you are well aware of the sludge concerns for the 2.3L - do you have a 2.3L or a 3.0L V6 ? The two different power trains have different concerns, especially as they age.
I'll just comment on things I know something about. The rear fog light issue is a discussion item because European convention is to only have one side lit - designed to make it easier to tell orientation of the car in poor visibility. Many have disabled their headlight wipers if they break because the cost of replacement parts is so high, but the bumper removal is not that hard (just time consuming), so you should be able to do the job. The WIS was a wise investment, but as you have observed, this board is invaluable to help with all of the details that the WIS glosses over.
Best of luck !
