    So here we go, another issue with the LS... never ends lol. Been driving it back again for one week after 7 months and it has another issue. I searched before posting but it seems all of the threads involved are for Gen I. It appears my cooling fan isn't working at all. I noticed this when...

    Trunk Button Swap

    Question: as the title of the thread would suggest. Is it possible to swap the trunk button in the cluster near the steering wheel? I tried searching but didn't locate anything similar to my situation. Somehow, my fuel button popped off last summer, the parts inside like the spring and...

    Odometer Question...

    So here's a weird scenario I encountered this weekend. I know bigger wheels throw the speedometer off but has anyone seen a case where it throws the odometer off as well? The reason I ask is because now that I'm moving I spend every weekend driving up north to apartment hunt. When I plugged...

    Car Fax

    Anyone have an extra car fax they're willing to part with? Or know of a similar site that's cheaper? $40 to pay for a car fax for a car I may or may not buy off craigslist seems like a waste of money to me. I asked the seller and he's also not willing to pay for it... I know it seems dumb and...

    Vulcani

    Guys I have a very specific question that I tried searching out and couldn't find the answer. For those of you who have the Volvo Vulcani's - which lug nuts did you go with? I went to a local shop and got acorn lugs but they are garbage, the chrome peeled off and now they are rusting. I would...

    Winter Wheels

    Since the forum has been riddled with repeat posts about technical issues and fixes that members are becoming tired of seeing I figured I'd start this thread to see what you guys have planned for the winter - wheel wise. Any of you guys already switch to your winter set? Any of you eying a...

    Vibration

    I wasn't going to create a thread about this but it seems like we all don't have much to talk about lately so I might as well. I have the volvo 19's with dunlop direzza tires. I have HCR rings and all four wheels are balanced, no bends etc. When I drive over 60-70mph there is a serioussss...

    LS for sale?

    A buddy of mine loves the car and has been looking at getting one for a long time. I figured I'd help him out and ask you guys if you can to keep your eyes peeled. He has a tight budget since he has 3 kids, looking to spend no more than $1,500-$2,000 (I know, I know) but I figure if we can...

    P0420 - Weird Issue

    Ok so I have had an issue with my Cats quite some time now. About 6 months I've had a rattle coming from below. The rattle has gotten significantly louder over time to the point where it is obnoxiously loud. I've had bad cats on cars before and was almost certain it was the same/similar...

    Advance Auto

    Came across this online - $50 off any order exceeding $125. Seems like a good deal if you need accessories or maintenance parts - many people (including myself) would recommend you steer clear of their parts for your LS - but for oil, car wash stuff, wipers, etc. It's a good deal...

    On the interior of my car towards the back where the brake light is, part of the carpet on the roof shakes, almost as if it is loose. Anyone have this issue? Or have any suggestions on how I should resolve it?
