It's home! What a gawdaful ride that was in second gear PLUS limp mode from stuck egr...6 hours to go 120 miles through Hamilton and Toronto at max 30 mph! On the positive side no leaks, temp. stayed dead on 80c at 3000 rpm and only used an eighth of a tank...

Geez I wrote a book back on topic - greasytshirt, I don't know where to put a texa software :) but I've been shopping the rare DRB III for a while - you or anyone else know coverage for 2005 Sprinter on a Maxidas DS 708? P.S. It's urgent I have to raid the wife's savings account while she's...

I'd be ok with that if they stuck to that only, but yes...the most reputable shop I know (they don't let me do my own safeties) replaced the crank sensor because the computer told them to...I argued with the owner until we were both very unhappy but paid, 10 miles later same problem...looked it...

Housing situation too complex to explain, but no...might be able to write off the storage units, I'm in a 20% ish bracket so every 100 dollars is only worth 20...Btw you do know what happened to house prices here?

Oh that's what you mean, I thought you meant extra...I add as many tanks as I think I need to avoid that one, until this year I never filled up in Canada Just looking for my proper max deductions, I don't like how they give the mileage deductions to buses taxis limos and self employed but...
