Re: Driving Across Canada with unplated Delica ?

I heard on Radio-Canada radio this afternoon a long piece about how they are subsidizing people to buy electric cars to the tune of $8,000 per vehicle, how the province is committed to installing charging stations all over the province, and all I could think about was what I read on this forum re. t...

Re: additives

they did reply, sort of -- sounds like they haven't thought of evaluating these products before, which seems a bit hard to believe since CR has been publishing since at least the early 1980s but anyway: "I’d like you to know that your submission has been forwarded to our Technical and Editorial...

I sent an e-mail to Consumer Reports but probably they won't answer.

Re: Mardy - Amazing Auto Imports Canada.....???????

He is definitely still in business, he replied to one of my e-mails just last night.

I believe he was abroad during the holidays.

additives

Strolled by the automotive department at Canadian Tire... for every engine part (gas or diesel) they have either a "booster" or a "cleaner". Do any of these things do anything? Or are they like the products sold in pharmacies -- do not work, but also do no harm so Health Canada d...

LED for amber ceiling lamp

I don't have my van yet, end of Feb early Mar probably. In the meantime surfing the forums etc. is interesting. I wish I could read Japanese, why didn't they teach Japanese in my high school. It would have proved useful now. Anyway, I saw that JAOS and others offer LED lamps to replace the ceiling l...

Re: Hi from Dartmouth Nova Scotia

That would be great, would love to attend a meet -- to ask where you bought your insurance from, any problems with registration in NS, etc. I have met you already I believe, we chatted briefly in the parking lot in Bedford near Pete's Frootique a couple of years ago. My wife teaches at Cole Harbour ...

Re: Canada 15 year import review?

I read it's the same reason why EVs don't sell, the dealerships hate them -- electric cars have no parts. No parts, no revenue. It's always about "revenue streams" isn't it.

Re: Canada 15 year import review?

Their page is dated December 2013 though.

Makes it sound like they will do a review (in the future)... unless the bureaucrats who produced this idea in the first place are gone, they will come back. It still worries me but as just one person I guess there isn't much I can do about it.

Canada 15 year import review?

Just found this on the 'net... https://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/motorvehiclesafety/safevehicles-importation-15yearrule-index-448.htm In my view, the 15 year import rule should be changed to 10 years, if they want to change it at all. I don't see how preventing people from importing quality vehicles does any...

AV Stage operation info

Hi,

Is there an owner's manual for the AV Stage in the Royal Exceed?

I contacted Mitsubishi Motors Canada and they were not helpful at all. :o
Strange behaviour that, if they were thinking long-term I would expect them to be more enthusiastic about their own company's products.
