    Smaarty,

    I hope you asked the yard owner to lift with his wrecker. Easier on you to get to. Hope you got it like that with them. DC is not toomuch better, but things are warming up a bit. More snow to follow...

    Nah, the way the starter is on the car in question (VW Jetta) you take it out from the top, really, if it was like 30 F or better yet 40F I can take it out easily.

    But I was too damn cold to do it, so I had to go home....

    It's a pretty good yard I'm dealing with... it's a pretty long drive from Mtl to the Upstate NY location of it, but the guys are friendly and there are some good prices. A Mtl salvage yard quoted me $280 CND for the starter, this guy quoted me 20 bucks US... Can you beat that??

    I believe both Escort and Valentine have new software out that reduces falsing on POP. You might call the company and inquire if you can send yours in for an upgrade.

    That too... the gas is significantly cheaper in that area than on the island of Montreal, so much that the gas I burn going there and back is less than the money I save by buying the gas there!
