Time. The worst thing in the world for Us and Them. Clogged lines? Check Bad diet? Check. Water where it shouldn’t be? Check! Sitting is the worst.

Now the van.

Belie Suka has been sitting for 7 months with 1/3 a tank of stabilized fuel but old fuel to be sure. So when I get home. New coils and plugs for eight cylinders and new injectors and probably a five hundred dollar bill for incidentals. Should be all it needs as the engine batteries have been being charged as well as the house units slowly to 80% of max. Engine AGMs to

Then….? Me time. June till September in Canada is nice. Perhaps another winter here?

I have the obligatory Red Russian Speedo shot to. But trust me that is more offensive than any political discussion.

Ooo goodie. ( :/ )
Looks like I get to take the dash apart again and try to refurb my headlight switch..  it doesn’t always do the headlight-thing.. it blinks out and I need to jiggle/twist the knob and hope it stays on…. 
I know what I am doing this weekend…. Lol. (Tools, nimble fingers, and some deoxit..  ready-Go!)

I'll say good luck but you probably could open a repair shop by now....

Good luck! Hope it went/goes smoothly at least.

Ahh.. the joys of vehicle ownership…. Been fighting the two pass-side door locks since day 1.. got the front one to l/ul with the fob.. and Sometimes with the key.. but the barn door - NOPE
Replaced barn door actuator a while back.. pfff nothing.. so just replaced the terminally gummed up cylinder- hoping that might be the problem……

le sigh.. nope


On the plus side- I replaced both lock cylinders so I can now l/ul both doors easily with the new key… ??‍♀️

Sounds like more is working than was before. Progress is kind of confirmed.

Sorta kinda.. in that now I don’t have to open the front passenger door and reach behind the front seat and pull the aftermarket wire that goes down to the knob- to unlock the dog loading door…now I can just use a key.

95% of the time it just goes ‘wrrrreerrrrr’ but doesn’t trip the lock mechanism. It is more likely to work in Cold weather (which is odd if the latch were gummy) and, as I have now replaced both the stuck cylinder and the actuator and rods.. I am kinda stumped..
