    LSE looks pretty good on CL

    FYI here is the ad on AutoTrader. Includes a link to the AutoChek Vehicle History that i purchased from AutoTrader. Didn't purchase a CarFax but in my experience (buying and selling) CarFax and AutoChek are similiar in their checks...

    LSE looks pretty good on CL

    That would be me! :-) Really hate to sell, but the wife has forced a sale with a recent acquisition of a 2003 540 Sport 6 speed. The LSE needs nothing that I'm aware of. Last issue was a swaybar bushing bolt that was cross threaded. Local shop took care of that for me on Saturday. Beyond...

    Remote locks the LS just fine. But barely unlocks?

    Wish I would have seen this post before the order. Lol. You are mostly correct. I was able to use the new rubber but yes, no membrane on new version. Best solution to my original problem remains turning membrane 180 degrees. Pic on right is membrane in original position and pic on left is after...

    Remote locks the LS just fine. But barely unlocks?

    So turns out the issue keeps returning. Upon inspection of the fob internals it appears that the thin membrane part (thin plastic sheet that resides on the underside of the rubber buttons but on top of the actual circuit board) has worn down where the membrane touches the part of circuit board...

    Swapping driver/passenger leather

    Seat bottom will be easy but are seat backs leathers even possible to swap since the airbags appear to be built in to the leather seat back? Trying to even out the wear on the leather on my 2002 LSE

    Remote locks the LS just fine. But barely unlocks?

    Thanks much and yes, this was the EXACT problem. I had forgotten that my backup remote actually wasnt almost new like I mentioned in the first post. I had used it for the first 5 years I had the car (its a 2002 that I bought new) and now that I recall, ran into the same issue, then put it away...

    Remote locks the LS just fine. But barely unlocks?

    THe trunk release works fine, the panic works fine, locking the doors works fine. BUt the unlock feature has slowly started to deteriorate. I now have to carefully and firmly press the unlock button 7-8 times before the LSE unlocks. I've put in a new remote battery, and tried with my backup...

    Looking for radar detector, lidar/laser detector

    Reminds me of the tens of MILLIONS of dollars DC generates from their speed cameras. Which are allegedly solely for "safety", but one of their biggest revenue generators is stationed along a 55mph highway that has concrete barriers on either side (straightaway) and the road is exiting DC. I...

    I think credit is due to Bullschmidt

    BullSchmidt. I see you enjoy trips to MExico as well. If you've never been, consider checking out Isla Mujeres. #10 top beach in the world per TripAdvisor. Trust me..you'd love Isla.

    Battery Draining Issues

    sounds like battery. Last time this happened with me the motorcraft battery (2 years ago) was only putting out 250CCA out of the 660 it was supposed to. Battery was replaced under warranty for free. Now 2 years later, SAME thing. Heading in tomorrow to get it replaced again. NOt sure why this...

    DIY Transmission Full Fluid Exchange (Flush)

    good thread. I had my transmission drained and filled (no flush) at 75k and again at 150k as maintenance. $140 or so each time if I recall. PLan to sell the LS in 12 months so that method worked for me, although im fairly confident the transmission would last another 12 months even if I never...

    horrible noise!

    at about 60k miles I changed my OEM factory shocks all around when I put on my Eibach springs. That was 9 years and about 100k miles ago. I would have DEFINITELY thought it would have been time to replace the shocks again. Believe it or not none are leaking and the suspension is very tight and...

    Looking for radar detector, lidar/laser detector

    there has been a innocent 8 year old little girl missing in the DC area for days now. The other day they had like 100 cops or so searching a park for her or her remains. Literally 20 feet from that park? A cop on New York avenue sitting in his car running radar in the usual spot cops catch...

    Looking for radar detector, lidar/laser detector

    Ive used a V1 for over 10 years easily. In my LS I have it velcroed on the rear deck adjacent to the third brake light. I purchased an extra third brake light cover to sit over the V1 (open end facing the front of the car to allow the lens of the V1 to "see" forward without the plastic of the...
