Howdy folks! Are the door handles on these cars the same for both rear and front? Thanks in advance!

Awesome post. Will be doing this exact procedure in a week or two. Thanks M4rk!

Awesome. Thanks, yet again, Joegr!

Is replacing the Degas bottle something a monkey (basic tool set - jack & stands) like me could do? From what I've read, the driver wheel has to come off to gain access to a bottom bolt of some sort.

Thanks everyone for the responses. I had the dealer do the front brakes and all is back to smooth sailing again. According to my service rep, the rotors were "very warped" and could be cut, so I didn't have to replace them.

I've been noticing a rattling noise the past few days coming from my driver front when I get to certain speeds and it goes away when the brakes are applied. Does this sound like a caliper issue? I received a coupon from a Ford Dealership here in AZ that says they'll do brake service using...

It seems the cap was the culprit. After the ride home yesterday, there was no loss off coolant or leaking under the car. Same on the way into the office today. Thanks to everyone who responded!

The parts store is only a few miles from my office (replaced it there). The engine temperature just barely hit the mid way mark on my way back, but I did pop the hood and take a look. Nothing visually from above or underneath the car. My ride home is about 25 miles, so I'll do the same when I...

I haven't replaced it yet, but I did (just now) replace the cap on the degas bottle. It's an aftermarket cap. If the problem persists, I suppose it's time to replace the degas bottle.

I had my oil changed last week and the tech told me, "your radiator cap is worn and you're losing coolant." Every since I replaced the T-Stat housing with the Jag aluminum part, I've always kept an eye out for any liquids under my car and up until this morning I've seen none. Suppose I should...

From a post I found when trying to figure out if my DCCV is going out on me: A/C - Heater System Check: Press the Off & Floor buttons simultaneously, and then press Auto Should start a test on your system.

Ah yah! :) Mine should be shipping soon! Off Topic - Been seeing a few LSs running around the Glendale area lately... No LSEs though. :N

As soon as I got home last night, I cleaned out my garage and made room for the LSE. Better safe than sorry.

Thanks for your reply Joe... Makes me feel a bit better...
