Set a date Kelvin and we will try to get there

I believe 2002 was the official launch...

What he says ... In my humble opinion 5% is too much on today's overly complex vehicles especially AWD/4WD

Next time you are down this way Brian stop in for lunch and I will show you the mark up on tires. At tis time of year 10% is big money LOL.

Hi Bill thank you ...

Thanks for all of the kind works ....

Thanks for sharing your celebrations with us Lew and Di, we wouldn't have missed it for the world! It's 42 and counting for us....

I'm still working on "Unmarried British Man's Wife"...

Glad you and Sue are in your new home. Just a heads up that most agents and their seller clients are asking for much larger deposits than they were 20 years ago. $25,000 to $50,000 on homes in the mid to high 6 figures. Unfortunately hiccups do happen on closing (mostly agents and bankers faults) and I have found a little patience and a few scotches works wonders..

With all due respect I wouldn't recommend that anyone service calipers unless they know exactly what they are doing...

We get one or two a week Dan. Pads installed wrong way, no lubrication....

I am guessing we will know a lot of the same people

Absolutely 4 contact patches about the size of your hand...

What store were you at?

Hi Lew. Greetings from PEI. Defender LTX is a good tire. My price all in installed, balanced, taxes included, including road hazard, no charge seasonal changeover and 24/7/365 North America wide tire roadside assistance is $1120.00. So your Kal Tire price is OK. Forget Costco, they are a pain in the rear to deal with and Defender to Defender their tires are not exactly the same. On some models they buy a specific tread design exclusive to them. I am not a fan. John

Nice one guys. Gotta be the cool shades!

That's great Cliff. When you posted I assumed you were out of warranty. ........the receiver/dryer or filter/dryer is always replaced. It is essentially a can with an inlet and outlet filled with dessicant to dry the air. I did a Nissan last week and parts and labour, (compressor/condenser.dryer) was over $1500.00........

Thanks again guys. Looks like I have a few great candidates that we are in the middle of interviewing.

Thanks guys I appreciate the comments and of course you are helping me keep it near the top.... We have two excellent 310-S Techs one of whom actually taught the course but had a yen to get back on the tools. This position offer the right guy or gal a truly great opportunity to learn a trade. J...

I am looking for an entry level Technician. Initial responsibility would be Tire Install, Oil Changes and other related tasks at busy, clean, well equipped 7 bay shop in Milton. Great opportunity for someone looking to start a career in Automotive Service and Repair. Will train the right person. You would be working under fully qualified 310 - Auto Service Technicians. Benefit package available. Bonuses can be earned. Position is advertised on Indeed and Kijiji. Thought there might be a member here that knows someone looking to start their working career in this industry. You can text me at 289-828-1804 or send resume to [email protected] Mod's I assume that this is OK to post here.......no advertising intended... John..

I'm assuming just powertrain Lew AC would not be covered

Hi Cliff Is it the volume of air that is the problem or the fact that the air is not cold? Different problems with different solutions. We fix dozens or AC's this time of year and if the compressor and clutch is working then in 90% + of the cases it is refrigerant leak. We put about a pound of refrigerant in the system with some flourescent dye. After a few days we can see where the leak is with a black light (sometimes the leak is very small). Of course if you have a volume of air issue then is could either be cabin filter plugged (you would be amazed as to how much crap gets trapped in there). If the volume is very low then it could be a mechanical heat/AC/blendor issue....sorry but if you were closer I would gladly have my guys do the diagnosis for you.... J..

You smokin' again bye!

Here ya go.... http://www.ebay.ca/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xspare+spool+stradic+FJ.TRS0&_nkw=spare+spool+stradic+FJ&_sacat=0

Dave, headed to PEI end of August for a couple of weeks. Hope to get my hands on a few 2-3 pounders. That's a beauty Kudos to them for releasing her...
