Thanks Tilted, a great explanation.

Yes 04 that has always been the way I have understood it that it is expensive to generate Hydrogen. We are both retired so gas and fuel oil are killing us and it is just starting, I suspect that $5 a gallon isn't too far off. Electric cars are expensive and their range is typically something...

I don't come around that often so if this subject has been covered just tell me where. Has anyone ventured into this technology on their car or motorcycle? Or have an information about its affectiveness, seems a bit too good to be true, but then again it would seem simple to extract the 2...

We have a 1998 Mark Viii LSC, love it. The driver side mirror has hazed over making it pretty useless. I found a replacement but I am still confused about a couple of things. Here it is...

It is funny that this thread is still active. We didn't by a TC but a Eldorado. Not a terrible winter car but with the wide tires and the added horse power it isn't great either but we have gotten through to winters without getting stuck too often. The car is primarily driven by my wife who...

We have one of these jewels, haven't had it long about a year it now has 110K 8 of which we put on. We haven't used it but a few times during the summer, it is basically a winter car. I tried it a couple of times, got a sticker and some wiper blades getting it ready. We have Lincoln Mark...

Good move I have had 5 Marks, 84,88,93,95,98 the 98 we still have and it is prestine. We store it for the winter but getting up there 125K, nothing major yet, mostly ball joints, we also have a 96 Eldorado for a winter car, and it still has its orginal ball joints, although it isn't half the...

Great looking car. We have a 98 that color, complete stock but it has everything offered in that year. I have always wanted to smoke the windows but have seen too many bad jobs, how did you have yours done or did you do it yourself? We store ours November 1st, its a tradition, last year we...

Help with Eldorado oil leak I know this is an old thread, but maybe someone can help. We bought a 96 Eldorado Nov 2006 for a winter car, our main summer car is a cherry 98 Lincoln Mark VIII that we store in the winter. The Eldorado has been a pretty good car for what we bought it...

I don't have the actually maintenance slips, although the dealer had them, that stated the radiator and AC compressor had been replaced. I assume the coolant was replaced when the raditor was changed, but who knows until I see the slip. Why he didn't put them in the glove box, I don't know. I...

Hello, We recently purchased a 96 Eldorado. A pretty nice car but someone got a little too aggressive and bleached the floor carpets. So they have bleached out spots. I am wondering if there is some kind of either spray, foam or brush sustance you can use to affectively dye the carpet back...

Thanks for the great information. There were no codes, sounds like good news, a very nice thing to know, that is how to get the codes. Got the tires and had them mounted and balanced, quite an improvement, still doesn't have quite the road feel or hold the road as well as the Mark but quite...

Thanks guys for the informative posts. I guess it would have been smarter to ask these questions before we bought the car, which we had already done before I posted. "I've seen TONS of N*'s w/ the T-Stat gutted out for early signs of head gaskets. 2 8mm bolts will allow you to see what's...

We have been looking for a nicer winter car for a long while. We went around and around and finally we saw a 96 Eldorado we liked, with 102K, in what I would consider excellent condition considering the year. I had been looking at STS's of the same vintage as an option and one thing that...

I don't have an LS but I suspect it is the same problem I had with my Mark Viii chrome wheels. They got so bad they wouldn't even hold air and needed to be replaced. I went for the factory OEM Aluminum wheels which are much better, although they certainly are not as sharp as the Chrome. It is...
