Salutations: Ahh fellow Canadian who understands the pickle - thanks brother.. The report may well have been for an '86.. I'll pull the hood after a short drive around tomorrow to warm up the bay so I don't freeze my face off chceking it out.. It could well be an electrical pwob as it takes quite a bit of juice to get it to roll over in this weather.. Perhaps it's new battery time!..
