Yup heat the key.
Thanks. I hadn't thought about that. Probably better than leaving it unlocked.
I got a call from one of my 80 customers who has a 62 at a shop and they broke the thermostat housing while trying to replace the thermostat.
Does anyone have one that they can part with?
Thanks

So I've been trying to fix my brothers Matrix. The windshield washer pump does not work. I found that both pumps for front and rear washers were junk. So I replaced them and they still don't work. All the fuses looked good. I'm getting power to the motors when one is connected and vice versa but when both are connected I don't get power. I seems one has to be connected and one disconnected to see power at the one that is disconnected. If that makes sense. I just don't know why they are not working. Figuring this out might be beyond me. Frustrating.
this is a common stumbling block for a lot of people. Just because you can measure voltage doesn't mean you have power. Power is measured in amps and it's likely that when you trigger the pump to turn on there isn't enough amps being passed through the switch to actually run the motor.
I would have to look at the wiring schematic to be able to give advice on trouble shooting the circuit. typically it's negative logic which means that 12v is at the pump and the switch attaches the ground to turn it on. So checking that ground would be a good place to start. But there are a lot of grounds in a car so the wiring diagram really saves time.
Just reserved a cottage for cmcc.

Great article about the difficulties the Land Rover community is having with importing trucks. A couple bad apples abusing the process. Hopefully, nothing drastic changes in the law.... I still have certain trucks on my import list.

What Would Steve Zissou Do?
I know a few people very close to this issue. All Defender, and Defender looking, trucks are now considered guilty until proven otherwise by CBP -- and not for a bad reason. The press has been quoting bad sources on this issue for months. The vehicles in the article were swept up in a search for late model Defenders stolen in Europe and shipped to...well no one really knows for sure. CBP has been doing its job, cooperating with Interpol in finding stolen trucks. Sure some people had legit trucks seized.
What the defender community is in a flap over, is that the game is up, CBP has figured out (been tipped off) that illegal Defender 110s (this which do not meet US safety requirements) can bring over $100K in the US. And, that people have been back dating VINs, importing them illegally to US and been making a ton of money doing it. When CBP issued arrest warrants for the 100 or so defenders it was due to their "questionable" VIN numbers in RMV data bases. And once CBP arrests a questionable truck its like trying to cross the US boarder with it again. I know a guy who had a 1970 109 series truck held by CBP at Long Beach port for 30 days because it looked like a Defender. And I had a truck held up for two weeks for same reason.
What I find so annoying is that the Defender community has known about illegal Defender importation for years and is now playing innocent and victum of CBP--when they brought it on themselves. Oh, and who tipped off CBP? Rumor has it the largest reseller of NAS Defenders in the US, who shop is in eastern Ma. Lots of ROW Defenders FS in US right now. caveat emptor

Good deal on C list. It is a typo though..... I had my money ready to go. It is a 1991 not 95 and has only CDL. Not what I'm looking for but still very low miles for the yr.

wow, she did really good. that's great.
So my son inlaw can't get the used snowblower we found running. I loaded mine into the truck yesterday and cleaned up his driveway for him. Cleaned a 150 foot path big enough to back the truck to where the blower was and picked it up today. I had rebuilt the carb last fall and the thing was starting on the 1st or 2nd pull.
Yup, it's amazing how well it runs when you put gas in the gas tank. It's a good thing he's a good kid, just not mechanically inclined at all.
So this will cost him another six pack.
