With what you wrote maybe some background info on the car would help? You got it cheap with no keys? Was this a theft recovery or something? Any story behind the car? . . .

Pressure test the coolant system with the engine cold and see where it's coming from? . . .

Good point about the sealant change! Yes the Gen I's are easier to work on. Both in the LS and the Jaguar S-Type. . . .

Be aware that the longer you have a bad DCCV the more likely it will also take out you CCM (Climate Control Module). How long has it been bad? A simple search will find dozens of threads on DCCV replacement because it's a very common repair. Take a look and see if what your looking for is in...

Well you could try the old bake them in a oven at 250F for a while? Then pry the lens off? I have not done this on an LS light but the same year Jaguar S-Type head lights are very repairable this way. Use gloves to handle the hot head light. . . .

Yes that is the best way! Many possible leak points and be sure and check the tail lights. . . .

Have you ever done any rear diff work? If not take it to a shop. There is a lot that can go wrong in setting up a rear diff and if you don't work on that exact rear end regularly it would be best to let an expert do it. I can do just about anything but I just took a 2014 F-150 to a shop to...

You replaced the O2 sensors but the car is still throwing an O2 code? I think more checking of the O2 circuits is indicated? If the sensors are good (new?) then you have a wiring problem? Maybe? Here is a short article and as always that code can mean more than one thing. Code 1132 Note this is...

With a front end clunk be sure and also replace the front sway bar bushings and the end links. Very common noise from the bushings. Not easy to change out but not expensive too do. . . .

All over Ebay?? Here is one for less than $100? Shows the transmission cooling ports too? It's hard to believe the 10 year warranty but hey they at least have a warranty. Lincoln LS Radiator . . .

I saw this a while ago Apollo Racing makes these for bunches of cars. At around $100 so not too bad a price. With all the over heating problems the LS has I wonder has anybody tried one? Says it fits 2000-2006 LS and 2002-2005 T-Bird Al. Coolant Tank On EBay too? Al. Tank Looks well made...

Please listen to Joegr! He has posted this so many times that even I know it to be true! Replace ALL the plastic stuff in the cooling system. They are all wear items and they are all old now. . . .

Sorry about the divorce but what a score on that AC compressor! They are an easy $350-$450 for a Motorcraft one. . . .

What's regarding the purse?? . . .

Are you getting power to the pump? Might need a new fuel pump too. Especially if the car has been sitting for a while. . . .

Well you might as well curse ALL cars then?? Plastic cooling system parts are the bane of EVERY car owner after the cars gets to a certain age. They are simply wear parts and while I agree with you this is just the reality of the situation. You need to understand that people like us are the...

Can you do any work? Can you check for codes? We really need these to be able to help. Your LS has a extra battery post hidden in the front passenger wheel well behind the plastic wheel well liner. Don't get confused and look on the drivers side as that throws people off too. Now listen to...

What I use is a clamp on DC ammeter. Until I got mine chasing these tiny current drains was a nightmare as you found out. It is worse with cars that go to sleep as that just adds hours to your troubleshooting! Plus it's SO MUCH nicer and quicker to clamp the meter on without disturbing anything...

Hey no problem and I wish my repairs were as good as yours! Congratulations on a simple but effective repair! . . .

The problem is after all this time the electronics have all failed and there is no replacement. Remember this is our future with electric cars. Obsolete unrepairable electronics. Call Crutchfield and install a MUCH better after market set up. . . .
