Get that starter problem fixed yet? We anxiously await the
outcome.


Just got back from 'The Source' where I bought a can of the 'TV
Tuner
contact cleaner& lubricant.
I had tried at my favourite electrical supply store this
afternoon
but
they
didn't carry it.
I'll advise when I have results to post.


Oh, man I can't wait, thanks little buddy.


Don't you just love how he adds suspense and drama to a ho-hum
repair
job.




Evidently CRC doesn't sell this in CA so he went shopping for TV
solvents...

I went to the closest place where I thought cleaning solvent was
available. The boat dealers are at least a 10 km drive from my
place.

5 miles? A Rav4 should be able to handle that, as long as you have
been
faithful about tending to all the recalls.



Now *that* is funny!

Don't make fun of my little buddy's RAV4. He says its a truck even
though it doesn't have a frame.

Looney, Looney... Toyota says it's a 'truck'.
You got a problem?? Take it up with them.

Why are you calling me "looney" little buddy? So, do you believe every
bit of advertising you hear? It's not a truck, sorry, special buddy. A
truck has a frame. Here's a comment from a RAV4 owner's site:

"To the poster a few responses back, the Rav-4 is definitely not a
truck. It is a car based SUV that has nothing in common with a truck"

Ok... you post one owners comment.
Toyota says different. Take it up with them.

Little buddy, don't get roused, it's just a car. On a car frame. Nothing
to be ashamed of. Where does Toyota say it's a truck, anyway? Here's
some other information

http://www.wheels.ca/article/20049

Which says in part:

Okay, it's not a very manly driving device," starts British Car magazine
in a thumbnail review of the RAV4, "but (it offers) lovely engines,
reactive chassis and the usual Toyota strengths of build and warranty."

Toyota knows that to make an appealing cute-ute, it's best to start with
a car, not a truck.

So the RAV4 was built on the Japanese-market Camry platform ? precisely
why it's such a nice-driving sport utility

See, Don, a Camry is a car, not a truck, little buddy.

It goes on:

The RAV4 deviated from truck-based SUVs by employing lightweight unibody
construction, a fully independent suspension (struts up front, trailing
arms in back) and rack-and-pinion steering.

Aren't Camrys and Celicas cars?

Thanks to its Camry and Celica donor parts, the RAV4 was a delight to
drive and far more car-like than its tall stance and trucky appearance
might suggest

I'm sorry to do this to my special little buddy, but you need to know.
