Loading the parts cannon will never work. You can't just swap stuff most modules need to be coded/programmed to the car. Get the car scanned and start working thru your codes. These are complicated cars and searching the forum with what the scanner finds will help a lot. I would start by...

It's the same engine? Can you post what was wrong? . . .

Does the instruction sheet say anything? If not I would call Derale and get their tech people on the phone. I am sure this has come up before and I would check the instructions one more time just in case they do tell you what to do. I found the instructions in about 30 seconds. Please see the...

Take a look on EBay as there are many sets available. Here is a pretty good set with the guides you need. These are used on Jaguar, Mazda and Ford vehicles so are common items. I see dozens of kits on EBay. Jaguar 3.0L Timing Set Now I do see your in Greece and that complicates things...

Your best bet is to convert to an electric fan. The hydraulic versions were troublesome and are obsolete. It was a bad idea from the beginning that came from Jaguar. Several threads on the forum on how to do it. Next all the plastic in the cooling system is full of micro cracks because of time...

Yes a common problem but easy to solve. The Moonroof has a drain pan with drains at the 4 corners. Over time the rubber drain hoses shrink a bit and then pull off the steel nipple. I stretched mine back into place and installed a hose clamp and never had a leak again. Others have had to add a...

Hey Greg! I am afraid with Ford abandoning the LS over 20 years ago any factory parts left over will be shear luck! But this is a common problem so you might be stuck cutting a piece out. I did find this place and they have a bunch of Lincoln Replacement Hood Pads. But nothing listed for the...

No car info so how can we know? Model,engine,miles it all helps. . . .

Glad yours was the blend door actuator. On my old 2003 LS Sport. The plastic loop the actuator connected to broke off. So the actuator was fine and did move but it was no longer connected to the blend door itself. It was a bear replacing that broken blend door! . . .

Maybe consider an MKS instead? We have had a 2013 Eco-Boost for over 10 years and it's been just about perfect. We are at 115K miles so far. . . .

Agree with cammerfe. We have seen this many times. Try to rebuild your OEM one because as many have posted on this thread the replacements are hit and miss. Do you still have the original unit? Listen to SteveSC. Ford long ago abandoned the LS and I would NOT recommend you taking any LS to a...

What are you using for a scanner? It might not be able to see all the codes. Do you have a shop manual? Cheap to get on EBay if you don't have one. . . .

When posting question without any car details you just can't expect any answers? . . .

The number one problem are the plastic cooling parts. They fail from heat and time. They will be full of micro-cracks that you can't see. Since Ford has abandoned the LS many years ago they have also obsoleted all the cooling parts! Spend some time searching this forum for details. Look for the...

A very clean engine that indicates regular oil changes. Now don't wait until those plastic tensioners come apart. Yours are already dark in color which shows they are old. Here is an LS engine where the guy waited too long! Note the color of the plastic in the above picture and compare that...
