... perhaps 3 weeks of genuine effort is not coming to fruition. Perhaps this message thread from Rich to me to Rich will explain - the subject is finding a cheapo chinese reproduction headlight plant who will agree to mold replacement high failure rate headlights for our oem high failure...

A friend was driving my 1994 mark and on one of these -10 degree days decided it would be wise to attempt to not only start the car that cold, but then cycle the windshield wipers to free them from their iced-in-place position. Net result is the wipers don't park - stay either straight up or...

Three things: 1. Anyone ever try redying the steering wheel on a tan or grey wheel with any success or failure? Mine is discolored and icky. 2. There is a carbon fiber/wood/chrome shifter being offered on ebay as a mark viii replacement - pretty custom and neat - opinions? 3...

I've seen some wonderful and very attractive 100% duty-cycle air ride pumps in "Lowrider" magazine that would be a HUGE performance improvement vs our stock pump. How difficult would it be to integrate a different pump into the factory control system? The pump control is simply on or off...

I'd love to see members post a photo (or detailed description) of their favorite aftermarket rim along with rim name/type, diameter, tire and wheel size/width info etc for their Mark VIII.... I think a thread like that would help us as we shop for aftermarket rims to update our cars - I...

...p*sses me off! I've got a couple of the light-bar lights out on the edge of my gen-1 trunk lid. So I go to autozone to buy the bulbs, and NOWHERE in the owner's manual does it contain information on the type of bulb or how to access them. Can someone please pass on this apparently TOP...

...before I order a used one? I notice a bunch available for about $50 including shipping.... Anyone want to sell a known-good one or should I order from a junkyard? 1994 Series 1, module/actuator from inside fenderwell.

...I've got the dreaded rusty pan :mad: - it is beginning to leak. Can it be repaired in-car? I'm thinking of trying the same "clay" epoxy covered with a thick coat of flex liquid epoxy that worked on a punctured pan, followed by a nice thick coat of no-rust primer and paint..... I...

...hey all, I'm hoping that as a Mark VIII community some of you would get a kick out of this - I'm familiar with this car. Right now it is on ebay, and I almost bought it but chose a different '77 SEL. I really recommend this model Mercedes as the ultimate garage-buddy for a Mark for two...

Thought I'd better post this - no photo, spotted it today on autoextra....can't ask for much more for the money then this one: 1996 Lincoln Mark VIII LSC, blk, tan leather interior, moonroof, all power, 52k miles $4,695 FIRM 937-746-7901 937-704-0388 SPRINGBORO

....I want to see someone do THIS to an LSC!!

I swiped that thread title from a very hot debate on the Cadillac side... and here was my reply: I am afraid that I'll have the final word on this.... In 1991, 1992 and 1993, I was part of the introduction and reliability team for the Mark VIII product launch. At the time I was senior...

...I used the term "Alvins" to describe you electronic gear-heads (Chip Monks?) Then I was noodling on something I need really bad.... Mercedes from 1991 up has had chronic problems with unrepairable electronic control modules for seats and top mechanisms on the SL convertible line...

Here's the new Mark VIIII.... scheduled for introduction in 2009. I guess it is going to have a base 5-cylinder diesel with water injection and be electronically limited to 110 mph. KIDDING :D http://www.cwwcardesign.com/index.html

...got my first scratch on the Mark! Pulled into the garage a few inches too far and nicked the edge of my license plate frame on a plastic recycling bin! Argh! Just a tiny little ouchee but damn it stings! It took NOTHING to crack that little edge... I barely nudged the plastic box...

Today on the way home from "work", some *sswipe in a NEW jet-black Sebring sport coupe decided my bumper looked like flypaper and glued himself to it. I was in a mood anyway, listening to Kid Rock and thinking about women... so I "graciously" pulled over and waited for his pea-brain to...

I'd like everybody's vote on which of these two styles of wheels (both from Continentals) will look best on my "urban" 94 Mark....here's the car... Gals get double votes! :D

...usually when dead cold I'm either in a mellow mood and drive slow, or grumpy and rap it hard coming out of the neighborhood. Today I was in neither mood, accelerated just moderately and suddenly at about 18 MPH or so the car goes "VROOMP! (jerk) VROOMP!!" :mad: :mad: I'm thinking that was...

I'm a well-known cheap b*stard and will thus shop hard for used rims.... will Jag or other rims fit our cars? I noticed some nice XJsport rims on early 90s jags that look similar on offset.... plus used rims are often advert. for only the car they were on - not by bolt pattern/offset. Anyone...

...if you have an extra $35,000 to spend - let's face it... it is a little more car, but is it $35,000 more car? 1995 M Series 850CSi V12, 53,000 miles. Bidding currently in the low 40s.... ...and you know what? An average person....especially an average female person, won't...
