believe I've seen here in the past ten years. A neighbor knocked on my door a little bit ago and told me that my '02 Sport is setting with the Moon Roof open. I've not driven the car for more than two weeks and I left it all locked up, with everything closed. When I went out to look, everything...

For the last several weeks I have been doing more work on my '02 LS V8 than driving it. In truth, there have been several times in the life of the car---I bought it new---when It was setting for several weeks at a time. It was my practice to put a trickle charger on the battery when it was just...

To those of you who have sweated your way through the practically impossible task of dealing with the hose that runs from the bottom of the degas bottle over to the tube fastened to, and running along the firewall, a few comments. First, it's obvious that the whole works was installed before...

Part of what I'm in process of doing to my '02 Sport is replacing 'factory' with permanent items. This will include such things as replacing 'formed' hoses with Teflon stainless braid, and molded plastic pieces with metal as well. A lot of this stuff will be installed while I have the engine out...

The other day, on my way across town, I got stuck on an icy hill. I rev'd the engine pretty freely and had a sudden burst of steam from the edge of the hood right in front of the driver's position. My 160K-mile degas bottle had given up the ghost. Day before yesterday I went out and poured...

Reading here suggests to me that rust-out along the pinch-seams at the bottom of the rocker panels is common. I'd appreciate feed-back from those of you who have some experience along these lines. Did you repair, and what did you do? Discuss---and thanks!!! KS

Although I bought the materials last fall, I'm just now about to actually do the job of fabricating and assembling them. And my present set-up has me doing the work on the car while it's setting in the parking lot at my apartment. Considering this awkwardness, I need to pre-plan so as to be able...

Had to deal with a rim-leak this past week and discovered that I have perceptible play in the tie-rod end on that side. So it looks like a Saturday project right after the 4th. I've done a search and watched the vid of the guy doing the job. Seems quite straightforward. But some questions...

I discovered this past week that the bracket at the end of the 'hold-open', fastened to the jamb by a pair of small bolts, has one cracked ear. Probably the other ear will break within the near future. Here is my question. I have a complete set of extra doors; stored away in the back of my...

Are any of you having trouble with rust in the back fenders just back of the rear doors and above the upper edge of the bumper cover? Mine is showing rust stains in the paint on both sides at that position. Pressing gently with a small punch doesn't suggest that it's perforating from the back...

your PM. In attempting to clear out old messages, I inadvertently dumped everything including your unread note. Please, if you care to, send it to me again. Thanks KS

I recently had the experience of turning on the wipers on my '02 Sport. The blades went halfway vertical and stopped. Over the next several miles they slowly went past the top and about halfway back down before quitting entirely. I pushed them back to the park position. I made several calls...

is not the name of doing a simple chore, but instead the name of a new material sold for the purpose of repairing plastic automotive parts. I read about it on another board and watched the video on the RF website. It's shown as being 'just the ticket' for repairing cooling system parts and...

Does any one in the Metro Detroit area have a set of 16 inch rims I could buy cheap? I want to put on winter tires. PM if you like. KS

to make. I was one of the first to install Accel coils for a Mustang on my '02 LS V8. No one, at the time, seemed to have any idea that the connections were so arranged on the Mustang coils that when plugged-in the coils were operating with reversed polarity. I didn't pay any attention to the...

Your replies are welcome. I have noticed an alarming trend from some of the newer members to diss the cars that bring us here---and to perpetuate myths that simply don't apply. To speak first of the dissing---If you have nothing good to say about the LS platform---go somewhere else...

I made a list of things to do for pre-cold-weather maintenance. Then I went out earlier today to get things such as a set of plugs, fluids, and so on. I was motivated by not only the season but also an incident last spring. We had a cold snap and for several days the car simply wouldn't start. I...

I've got a 'bootie shake' sort of motion to the rear of my '02. Since there is no noise associated, such as might indicate a loose rear cradle, I'm guessing that the radius rods with their compliant 'give' sections have finally 'gone south'. I have 152 K miles on the car. As I noted in...

Any suggestions as to where to buy re-built rear calipers for an '02? Car-part doesn't seem to have them and the local places want $70 each. Ebay only offers take-offs from wrecks or junk cars. I don't have time to do a re-build on the ones on the car. Suggestions? KS
