My '87 will release the brake in Neutral. FYI, there should be a manual release handle up under the dash close-by.

Hi everyone, Would anybody know the approximate time it takes four our power brake accumulator to pressurize after start-up if the car has been sitting for say, 12 hours or so? Should it lose pressure at all while it is sitting? Mine is taking 30 seconds on average (sometimes longer). Wondering...

The final insult being that it was euthanized by what appears to be a CAMRY.

I have returned! With a 1987 Continental. Looks a bit different but makes all the same sounds as my dearly departed Bill Blass Mark VII.

Got my eye on a '91 Eldorado ETC ... decisions, decisions ...

Nope, i never got around to it. I'm pretty sure it's an electrical thing rather than a mechanical issue because under certain conditions I can get it to work fine. Don't ask me why but this is the routine that works. I never actually turn the heater off anymore, just leave it on. If I shut the...

Fault It means there's a fault somewhere in the system. Do you only use the AUTO funtion? If so, next time you want heat or cooling, try using the manual functions. Press FLOOR or PANEL first. The selected funtion will light up along with the AUTO / OFF light. See what happens then. When you...

Hello everyone...I'm a longtime Ford/Lincoln driver looking to make a change...I've been checking out '97-'99 Devilles, Really impressed with the look, style, features, ENGINE (obviously). I just get the distinct vibe that these cars are money pits with LOTS to go wrong on them. Any input on...

Keep The air suspension Keep the bags...good luck swapping out a set of coils springs in your driveway in 45 minutes. The front ones don't even require a wrench for pete's sake let alone a spring compressor. There's nothing more satisfying than watching the arse end level out after a fuel fill...

Pics Here it Is.

Get some remanufactured calipers.

Time to sell my '87 BB. Car has served me well for the last 3 years but it's time to move on. Sandalwood on Tan/Brown interior. Body not as pretty as it once was, interior is beautiful. I drive it every day. Will follow up with some pics, just wanted to put it out there. See my avatar, that's me...

Common Problem This is a common issue with these cars. Mine does it too. Either it tells you zero or it gives you an accurate reading. I actually think there was a ford TSB (Technical Service Bulletin) pertaining to this very issue. Try resetting your average speed once in a while, it seems to...

Bag swap Greetings fellow Canuck! Dude, change out the bags yourself, it's super easy. Hell, with the winter we've been having I could have done it for you OUTSIDE today. I've replaced both front and rear with used ones...still going strong. I have a spare set of fronts kicking around...just...

Yeah man, I saw that monstrosity on ebay a few months ago. There WERE bids. Damn.

Boneyard You shouldn't have to much trouble finding the necessary stuff at the scrapyard or just look online (kijiji, craigslist) for anyone parting out a mark. I wouldn't call that a high demand part(s). Should be easy enough to get your hands on. Pretty sure one out of a 5 litre mustang will...

No need for that, all you need is a flat piece of ground and a floor jack. I've swapped bags in my apartment parking lot a few times. Like I said, once you actually dive in and do it, you'll see it's quite simple. Do you do most of the work on your car yourself? Is it generally successful ;)...

You'll be glad you did it yourself. Whole lot easier than changing coil springs for sure. For the fronts you don't need to turn a single wrench, the only tools i needed was a flat blade screwdriver and a hammer (slight whack needed to dislodge the lock ring so it would turn freely). Make sure...

Buy 'em. Factory is (with very few exceptions) ALWAYS better. Go price those things out at ford, it's a helluva deal if it's legit.
