I do not know where on this forum to post to sell a car so I will simply post. I have a 2011 Town Car Executive L. Livery sedan Black Int. Black Ext. starts stops runs & drives perfect. 6-Disc CD Player, Rear Sub & AMP all poly cone speakers. 101,000 even miles. Car needs nothing except perhaps...

Easy fix simply have a Ford dealer power flush & refill your coolant system. Changing the radiator will hardly make a dent. You need to have the entire system flushed clean. Scott

2006 Lincoln Town Car Signature. Bought new now at 14 years. Best car I have ever owned.

Hello; thanks for the replies. The original tires have been replaced as has the serpentine belt. I have done exactly 2 things with the car: 1) I had the windows tinted (I can't tolerate bright lights) and 2) The paint/finish buffed. I have not driven the car in the wet - which is near impossible...

UPDATE: I just checked and the A/C system does indeed blow cool just barely cool. The lines exiting the A/C compressor are warm to the touch and the line entering the evaporator case is cool to the tough but just barely cool. Since the clutch cycles on and off I think I have no leak. I also...

Hello all; I have obtained my first Cadillac. It is a 1992 Cadillac Brougham Light Blue ext. on Blue Leather int. Very low miles garage kept 9,082 to be exact. Mechanically the car is perfect. It does however, need an A/C recharge. I do not know if R12 simply goes 'bad or away' after nearly 24...

rear air ride compressor. sounds like your rear suspension bladders are due for replacement

am not aware of a 'handling package' in a town car. other panthers sure, crown vics and grand marquis but not heard of that in a town car

Hello; Also check the ground strap to the fender. If that is loose or loses connection your motor will die. Be forewarned that bolt can be extremely hot to the touch. Same issue I had on a 1994 Grand Marquis. Scott

I had an '05 Grand Marquis and now I have a 2006 Town Car. They both have 'a modulated torque converter lock up' meaning they lock gradually. I also have a 1996 that is not at all modulated as it feels herky jerky upon lock/unlock sorta like an older early lock up style mopar. Does a 1996 Town...

Hello All; I finally got around to swapping out the origional alternator for a new unit this past weekend. Speedometer issue is resolved. It now reads zero and odometer also has stopped as well as fuel mileage indicator while in park all read zero. I let the dealer do the fan clutch as it was a...

ha ha....no not me i am stupid enough to grab a fan....that would be my dumy brother. until i saw that i had never before seen anyone grab a fan with the engine running. i did learn though that the electric fan works just fine. looks like door speakers and at least two layers of dynamat extreme...

yesterday i ordered a new not rebuilt or remanufactured alternator. eventually i will get around to installing it. i will also change the clutch fan as it appears to be neraly dead. you can easily grab the fan with your hand as the engine is running.Scott ssmith440@hotmail.com

Where is an 'alternator diode pack' inside the alt? if so, then shouldn't I simply replace the alternator and while at it order a new speed sensor for the tranny? My 1996 has this exact same issue. Thanks, Scott SSmith440@hotmail.com

This code is almost (90%) always due to a bad gas cap. The seals around the cap harden or get mossy depending on where the car resides and the cap simply fails to seal letting the PCM throw the cat(s) in either bank 1 or 2 or both - insufficiency code. A $13.00 gas cap may cure your MIL issue up...
