Took in my 96 and 2 hours later supposedly good to go. If it catches fire it's insured.

Moo johns idea worked wonders for my car. a 2001 conti. the keypad didn't work anyway

I've read in I believe an issue of Car and Driver something that said winter gas is less efficient than summer gas. I'm rarely on the interstate, so my numbers look real crappy but in the summer I was averaging 13.8 now that it is winter I've been hovering right at 12 flat. This is 95% city...

I recently did an all 4 brake job on my 2001 continental, If I remember correctly The parts cost me about $250 and I did all the labor myself. Add a 20% or more markup on parts plus 80-100 bucks an hour for labor and $700 sounds about right. The prices I paid are for ceramic pads front and rear...

Now I'm being called names too. You are all some bitches. Aren't you glad you can call stupid without picking up your teeth. Cuz you have your computer to hide behind. I've found a different site I use now :q:q:q:q off lvc. :q:q:q:q your scammers and your stupid ass site. Because I don't live on...

Maybe I'm searching other forums with similar cars to see if any of the problems I'm having are had with the marks as well. Its not like I'm looking at the Cadillacs page. As far as that :q:q:q that mentioned I should look at the age of the post, does that mean all the scammers are gone? When a...

Or I could use a different site altogether since I can't seem to get any info on a car noone owns anymore . Or that the small trivial problems I'm having with my continental are mine to figure out alone.

All these guys talking about scammers really makes me feel uncomfortable with buying anything from anyone on this site. Hey longtime, I believe the guy that has a link to this post with you being the real scammer. By the way, who capitalizes every word in a sentence.

I like wearing my seatbelt! My chime continues though as it must think I'm not wearing it but really I am. In my state it's $65 for a seatbelt ticket and my area is referred to as Mayberry a lot. So I'd rather not chance it but at the same time I'd like the warning to stop. Any suggestions? car...

My caravan did that once. The sway bar link was metal but it had the itsy bitsy teenie tiny allen wrench to hold the shaft while I tightened the nut. Needless to say the allen wrench stripped so out came the big vise grips and the cheater on the wrench.

In the last couple of days I have gotten in my car, buckled my seat belt and went on my way. The seatbelt warning continues as if my seatbelt was not buckled. Is there a way to defeat this so I never have to worry about it. Is there a sensor in my seat that I can unplug so the seat can't tell...

Not sure about this but thought I heard that the bushings are available from autozone. I read that either here at lincolnvscadillac or at the other site that i found owners of these cars.

Could be a true manufacturers defect. Is it the plastic type? I read tons of reviews about plastic ones being crap. Both my links were broken when I bought my car and they were plastic non-greaseable type. I replaced them with the Moog all metal ones with greaseable joints. The Moog ones are...

I made some changes. First off I wondered if my problems stemmed from a random misfire and replaced the Bosch platinum +4 that the previous owner installed and put in OE comparable Autolite platinum. Then I replaced the K&N filter that the previous owner also installed with an oil-less filter...

Sorry. 2001 continental, check trans fluid every time i get gas 150,000ish miles, supposedly rebuilt trans, just don't know how long ago. I would eat off the trans its that clean though
