I think this problem must come up occasionally because they did have some on hand. To be honest we can't really say anything bad about Air Canada lately as we haven't had any issues with them over the last few years so maybe their service level is coming back.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-19247447492742079802014-06-20T12:44:40.811-04:002014-06-20T12:44:40.811-04:00Kevin had fiddled with it a couple of weeks ago to...Kevin had fiddled with it a couple of weeks ago to get it going but when he started it up this time around it fired right up.

It would be against the law for her to drive without one and they were the ones that lost it so it is their responsibility to provide her with one. I just thought they would have lent it to her and swapped it around once they delivered her's back to her but that apparently isn't the case, they just gave it to her.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-36784200369381647562014-06-20T10:45:42.281-04:002014-06-20T10:45:42.281-04:00Sorry Dugg, there won't be any time lapse phot...Sorry Dugg, there won't be any time lapse photos, it would use up too much of our bandwith to upload it but we will take pictures.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-77793338209668404712014-06-20T10:43:50.001-04:002014-06-20T10:43:50.001-04:00I think Kevin will hold off on that, the summer ha...I think Kevin will hold off on that, the summer has only just begun and he may need some of the money for further repairs as we season moves on.

If it's down to just "spark and gas", it makes it heaps easier to get old beasties up and running again.
