Another Failure.

Another shop to stay away from: Ames Auto (edmonton) worse than Automotion. Original work requested: oil change and installation of 2 batteries (included alternator adjustment). Go to get vehicle and did not even make it 100ft. Ruined crankshaft pulley. Add another $800. Go to get vehicle AGAIN. Thi...

Re: repair in Edmonton???

Contacted all listings in the entire 'diesel' & 'foreign' section of Yellow Pages, with zero luck. Thus I give-up on Edmonton. Took my l400 to Kelsey in Lumby BC (outside Vernon) for some proper servicing from a true diesel mechanic (ie: works on ANY make & model). Knowledgeable, conscientio...

Re: repair in Edmonton???

Both shops obviously lack any sort of quality-control. If a shop can't get something as simple as fluid levels correct, what about the more important?? BTW, my l300 bud, whom had his transmission ""flushed"" by Automotion shortly after (the so-called service) found that his 3rd g...

Re: repair in Edmonton???

I too am still looking for a proper/GOOD (diesel) mechanic, to work on my L400. I STILL have the same problem (Starts very easy and once the glow-plug cycle ends it sputters and smokes. I have to either drive prior to the 3rd click, or restart it.) after 2-years! Automotion: $6000+ and Len was not a...

Re: Starts. Idles Rough. Stalls. Hard Retsart..

11-months later and the 2-mile stall issue was cured 100% by replacing the IP seals. The improvements in uphill pull, as well fuel economy are amazing.. ..however, my Deli still suffers w/the problem of needing to restart after 2-minutes (on next day, or cool/cold start it runs rough, coughing blue ...

Re: Starts. Idles Rough. Stalls. Hard Retsart..

Thank you, Steven, for both the welcome and the suggestion. Setting aside whatever that little issues is between you two (in links provided) ^^ I added this to my list of things to talk to my mechanic about since it sounds like others have had positive results. Although I am sure my mech. won't scof...

I mean real easy. Problem is, it idles extremely rough (now)---became much worse after I had mechanic rep...
