Third Linc I'm 22, just bought my 3rd Lincoln, a '96 Continental w/ 95k. Pics coming soon! I also have a '93 Mark VIII which now has 204k. My first car was a '92 Conti.

I have a set! I have a brand new set! I bought it for my '92 Continental and never got around to putting it on, then I switched to a Mark 8. I bought it on eBay. Its a full set of 4, they've never been mounted, they are in the original packaging. You can have 'em for $60 shipped. Let me know if...

I'm pretty sure I can get it for less than 3. There is just no much market for any type of even semi-luxury vehicle around here. I did the shopping and negoitiating for a friend of mine on a 2001 Mercury Grand Marquis with everything... got a steal on that right from the local Lincoln Mercury...

I have a '93 with approx 170k and the engine has about 70k. My car is overall in pretty good shape - but a couple little dents and dings, crappy headlamps, chrome stips in the bumbers are crappy, and the car it self obviosuly has high mileage. I had the car for almost a year, I put at least...

Hey! I'm in need of a throttle cable for my MK8! This stupid $10 part has caused me more trouble in the last week than it’s worth! lol My throttle cable broke, I had the car towed (on a flat bed of course) to my mechanic and figured I'd just let them take care of it all. Well... the...

Does it sound like "grinding" or just "a far away air compressor"? Did that sound stupid? I'm willing to bet its probably just the air compressor adjusting the level of the car - its a question many new Lincoln drivers ask. PS - The "air leaving swimming tube" sound when you get out of...

I second that question! This metalized plastic chrome plating crap has got to go. Anyway I can tounch up the "chrome" trim. I'm still tossing around the idea of having my '93 painted - I'm not wild about silver, would prefer something darker - this car was garaged by its previous owner...

I looked at some close up pics - and all the controls are the same on the units in the Contis and Marks and the connector in the back is the same - but the label is different and the color of the display is a bit different. I don't know if they're serious issues or would make them incompatable...

Anyone have one? The one that's in my car now is a hard-button style - so I'm assuming the previous owner replaced it because it was busted or the buttons were cracked. I just sold one that was out of my old Continental but it was the early style and the buttons were all cracked up. I...

No, mine is a '93. So I should just replace the unit?

The self test didn't produce anything. After I entered self mode, it just lit up everything on the screen and stayed that way until I left the self test mode... I left it sit there for close to 5 minutes and, nothing. Ideas?

What's broken? My vents no longer work... only defrost and floor. Turning the unit off, does nothing - it'll function as if on AUTO while turned off. Everything else works, this happened suddently - it worked great until 2-3 days ago - I have not changed anything else in this time...

Did it ever occur to anyone that there might be something wrong with us? lol
