hi robert, welcome.

as for cold weather issues, in general, its a non-issue as long as glow-plugs are working, compression is acceptable, and a light-weight oil is used. couple that with a block heater for starting that is as effortless as in the summer.

this winter however its been really warm in southwestern ontario... i'm still using summer-weight oil and i haven't even plugged the cord for the block heater into the block yet this year. i suspect february will be a downer but i just changed the oil on friday and risked staying with the summer oil.

i hope to visit BC and the rockies this summer too!!
..but as fate may have it i may end up in california instead

Canada?

I'm almost in Canada. I live on the St. Lawrence River, so I consider Canada to be my backyard, and a v. nice one it is!

Canadians?

Why -- I like them so much that I married one :wink:

Who wants to hook me up with a nice hot american girl?

Then i can move to California where it's always warm.

Ah, you realize that there's more to America than California, right?

Oh, well, that means that the nice hot Ohio girls are free for the taking by me, and not you

hey red rabbit. i've been meaning to post some trip photos and the trip log i wrote as we went...but i lost the log when i moved last month and my friend is dragging his ass getting the disposable camera developed :lol:

it went smooth all things considered. only real BS was dealing with u-haul, as usual. i'll update the original thread when i get the pics.
