Well, today was the day. The Roadmaster went into the shop to have the Safety Inspection and Emissions tests done. Cleaning the EGR valve and running Seafoam through the vacuum system failed to get it to pass an emissions test last week so it’s up to my mechanic to figure it out now. The mechanic…
It started to look like I won’t be able to make all of the required repairs to the Roadmaster in time to meet the 15 day limit on my ticket. I gave up trying to find a way to get the car fixed faster today and went down to the Provincial Offences courthouse to pay…
Well, any wiring issues that prevent it from passing a safety inspection are resolved and I’ve fixed the rear window roller. In order to pass the emissions test I really need to figure out what’s causing the high NOX emissions during low RPM. I’m really not too sure where to start. I removed the EGR…
I tore off the drivers door panel, the sill trim and lifted the carpet from the Roadmaster today in order to better hunt for my window lock wiring problem. At long last I found it. It looks like there should be some manner of bushing or wire guard where the wiring travels through the side…

While digging, I discovered that the interior has been wet for some time. The drivers side carpeting is dry to the touch but the…

The car has consistently been failing the NOX portion of the emissions testing in our area. I rolled the Roadie out of the garage today to have a look at the EGR valve. I’ve…
Well it was an eventful day. The Mrs. and I headed off this morning to pick up my new Roadmaster wagon. We paid for the car, transferred the ownership and put a temporary plate/sticker onto it so that it could be driven home. I had no problems with the car at all on the way…
Well the seller of the ’94 Roadmaster Estate wagon that I’ve been hoping for has returned my calls at last and we’ve reached a deal. The car is a little over an hour away so the Mrs. and I are headed on a road trip tomorrow morning to pay for the car and bring it…
After a lengthy search of many months, I’ve found a station wagon that’s in decent enough condition to be worth saving! To the left is the sellers photo of the 1994 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon that I hope to purchase. I went to have a look at the car a couple of weeks ago and…
