    most of the high end OBDII Scanners can do the ABS bleed cycle
    I would think any shop that does brakes would have the tools for the ABS bleed

    Now I know why he liked the smell of napalm in the morning. Makes perfect sense. :tinfoilhat:

    or in Utah where it can get pretty miserable during the winter. Granted the town level elevations are usually clear of snow, but not always.

    It was clearly a semi-daily driver more like, and was undoubtedly hooned HARD considering it had every APR upgrade they make for the RS4 plus some other goodies.

    I think the best one I looked at was a 4Runner advertised New Engine.

    The fact that it was installed 90,000 miles ago was not deemed important to mention.

    ...Funny you mention that, my power has been out since 3:30. :annoyed:

    ...and the lights are back on :)

    Well, I looked at the forecast this morning :eek: and put my back (more correctly my butt) to it today. :militarypress:

    7 lawns cranked out and nothing fell off. ( well, almost ;) )

    Mowin' along, singin' a song (James McMurtry) on lawn #1 which has some hills & banks. Whilst going across said bank suddenly I found myself sitting on a swivel chair :confused::confused:.

    I found myself in a very un-ergonomic position, hips & knees pointing left while my arms & shoulders straight ahead & upper body leaning towards the right - the lean is to counter the bank and keep the ZT going straight.

    Seems the several times (hastily) repaired seat bracket had enough.
    With a little extra effort I finished the lawn.

    KIMG3331.jpg

    At lawn #2 I rooted around and found a suitable block of wood to hold the seat up and mowed the remaining 6 lawns.

    Done :thumbsup:

    Meanwhile, back at the garage...

    Fortuitous I have a parts mower, it was less work to swap the bracket.
    (I'm all for less work. ;) )

    Just putting the mower in the shed and there was a tremendous clap of thunder -- I got back around the garage before getting too wet.

    There is a tree there with these little berries -- the damn things were pelting me & the truck as I got in.

    KIMG3332.jpg

    The funny part is it never really rained, as I went through town there was standing water on the streets but very little rain where I was.

    Got home and found bits-o-tree in my yard and blocking the mailbox but the (dirt) road was almost dry.

    There was just enough rain to jack up my wash & wax job from Friday, it made the dust clump up -- and the power was off...:annoyed:

    Thanks, I was going to check with the shop that I use to see if they would be able to do it, I really don’t want the local dealership working on it, to many bad stories about their service department.

    As it should be!!

    How do you determine when Morning is?

    Should Morning always be when the Sun peeks up in the eastern sky.

    Maybe When your day starts .
