Raving Reviews for Rising Sun

It's taken me a long time to get on here and say Thanks to Stephen of Rising Sun. After a terrible experience at my local shop, I decided that the extra distance to New West would be necessary and have not regretted it since! He has even delivered to me here in Abbotsford and is always available to ...

Transmission gone bad...

So I went from having a minor leak, to a gasket letting go and losing what could be most my tranny fluid. I put 5.5 litres in today so I could limp it to my mechanic about 8 km away. Noticed that the tranny fluid, though mostly all new and red, was almost immediately brown. I made it a few hundred y...

Re: Can remove key, van still runs for 60 seconds

Nope, nothing fancy on mine. Can't think of anything that would have triggered it to start either. Hadn't done any work or replaced any parts. Totally random. Anyway, it will be in the shop Wednesday and I'll have the mechanic confirm that this is what is happening and see if he can find the little ...

Re: Can remove key, van still runs for 60 seconds

So is it just coincidence that this just started? It has never done it before and I've owned the van for 2 years. I guess it is related to the temperature outside? Still strange that it wouldn't have done this last year when it was hot either.

Can remove key, van still runs for 60 seconds

Title explains it all. I can shut the van off, remove the key lock the doors and leave but the van will run for exactly another 60 seconds. I did find that if I turned the van off while in gear (Drive or Reverse) the van shuts off immediately and I can then shift to park. Anyone know where I should ...

Re: Trying to be optimistic but...

Japan Auto in Abbotsford. Took 5 and a half weeks and we aren't on speaking terms any more.

It is a long story but I am planning on explaining it on the mechanic review section of the forum.

Re: Starter parts needed!

Starter is out of the van and opened up. The internals are completely destroyed. Hammer won't help at all at this point. But did try that while it was still on the van to no avail - it was seized to the max.

Re: Trying to be optimistic but...

Sorry for not updating. After trouble shooting and following the great advice you guys have given me, the problem was narrowed down to the starter. Long story short, the shop that just rebuilt my injector, completely burnt out the starter. I'm fortunate that the starter is less than 6 months old and...

Re: Trying to be optimistic but...

Thanks for all the tips. Being that I have the good batteries back, and from how things sounded, it was a slow degression to not starting, not an 'started-fine-now-doesn't-start' situation. I would make the assumption that if it was a fuse it would be the latter and I wouldn't have noticed the strai...

Re: Trying to be optimistic but...

Yeah, I had gone through some of the basic tests before sending the batteries off for load testing. Low and behold, the batteries are fine. Which puts this into a whole new category. Being that the starter was recently done, it is still under warranty, so thats good. However, I still need to get it ...

Trying to be optimistic but...

After spending $1500 only two weeks ago, should I be surprised that my van is dead in the water today? Of course it is a problem that had never even be showing any signs two weeks ago. I'm hoping it is something minor. Over the last two days I could hear what sounded like the batteries dying, almost...

Re: 96 Mitsubishi Challenger T-Diesel, Auto $10,500 in Trans

Mardy, I really like this model. The shots aren't too clear or show the interior/trunk very well. How does this compare to the Pajero? Are they bigger on the inside? Pajero's have the 2nd row seating, is this the same? What is the weight? Would one expect more or less fuel milage as the L400? Might ...

Re: Taking a breather

Jesse, great news! When I was shopping and considering over a year ago, it was you and you alone that took the time to phone me rather than reply vaguely in a thread. You are solely responsible for my commitment to buying a Deli. Any thread that has your name in it is one that I'll read and I always...
