  1. Hi Im farming in Saskabush but will be back in Vancouver on the 30th but sadly without the Canada one. Thank you for the invite. Alan
  2. Well that didn't work. left the battery disconnected for a month. lights come on when reattached. will try to post a video. Alan https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/i1hpovc8ej2naabw6tytq/IMG_8833.MOV?rlkey=z72duqntn03wufqv5ehxi6bdn&st=in6vvvuw&dl=0
  3. Hi All The battery maintainer quit working while the Canada one was stored for the winter. Of course the battery went completely flat. When I realized what was going on I charged the battery and started the car drove up and down the street to get the engine warm. Now whenever I turn off the key, the park lights come on and stay on till the battery goes dead. Any help would be appreciated. Alan
  4. If the car has been sitting for awhile it could be that your alternator has seized. Just a thought. Alan
  5. About fuel additives. I used Howes for years and found that it was hard to get any in the tank without spilling most of it down the side of the car. Someone on here showed me how to simply pour it into the end of the fuel nozzle at the pump before adding fuel no more spilling. what is considered the best additive currently, I have just been gifted a 45 gallon drum of Jet fuel so am looking for mostly higher lubricity and a cetane boost. Jet fuel has a lower cetane rating than diesel. Not wanting to hijack this thread so moderator please move it if it gets out of hand, Henry

  7. Welcome to the club. Im in the Surrey Langley area and am available to help. You will find your milage goes up dramaticaly if you keep the rpms below 2000, do a search for 100 mpg challenge. Alan
  8. One has to wonder if there are any aftermarket 14" wheels out there that would fit the smart 3 lug axels. this would give more sidewall without changing wheel diameter
  9. Hey Mike Still round and looking great. The C1 turned over to 66,000 this spring, Still feels and smells like a new car. Not bad for a 16 year old car.
  10. I think you are mistaken, Vredestein quatrac is a high end all season tire. the ones on my car are H rated. So they are good to 210 kmh, now if I can coax the smart diesel to go that fast, LOL https://www.tyrereviews.com/Tyre/Vredestein/Quatrac.htm Alan
  11. I bought my last set from Eddie at flying tiger developments. He serviced my smart at the same time.

    Oh No! I have been filling up my smart right to the top forever. Never thought that I might be screwing up a charcoal filter. Alan
