    Tell us a bit about Mauritius;).

    I’ve never been or even knew much about it until I just googled it:).

    Split it up amongst some of the posts until you hit 5 and we’ll be able to help more(y).

    Seriously? lol. I went through the “posts awaiting moderation” and nearly clicked “spam” when I read his posts. Good thing I checked his one approved posts (the original one in this thread) and realised he was just trying to get 5 posts.

    Man. You nearly sent someone to the spam factory :eek:

    Now that you are passed 5 posts, post the video so we can hear the every time noise;).

    Good luck and keep us posted (y).

    No worries. @Raytheeagle is the troublemaker here ;)

    (I’m kidding. He’s not)

    You should get that checked. The Gen 4 doesn’t start the engine immediately unless it’s cold ;):p:D

    The news here is @Raytheeagle is not a troublemaker and my Prius engine starts right away if the defroster is on ;)
    We just made it through an ice storm. I am not in California like @Raytheeagle

    It was raining here today:(.

    So some inclement weather for sure but not to the scale of the others parts of the woods(y).

    Could be worse. They are expecting 4-5 feet of snow up at donner pass from this storm. And I’m going to Reno on Friday. :whistle:
