New music

Anyone listening to new music? Any new discoveries? So far I've been listening to: Eagulls, The War On Drugs, Emmylou Harris with Rodney Crowell, and Linda Perhacs. Listened to Luke Bryan's new EP for kicks and it was okay. But so far The Eagulls are the most impressive by far out of the lot. Major ...

Re: v70xc - 00 200hp - intermittent refusal to start

jblackburn has a great solution. I second the antenna key ring as well. I had a 2000 S-70 that would start then stall. Turned out to be the antenna key ring. Different symptom but it did fail.

Re: Fuse holder #7 sparks
