    So the paint is peeling off on the front bumper of my 02 sport and I don't know why or what to do. It started a couple of months ago when a rock from a semi chipped the paint but now it has just started to flake off all around it and I've got a place about 3-4 inches long that's missing paint...

    Zephyr commercials

    Has everyone noticed that Lincoln really seems to be touting the Zephyr. It seems like everytime I turn on the T.V. I see a commercial. Personally I don't think the exterior is that appealing although the interior looks really cool. Especially the Town Car-like analog clock in the dash...

    Wanted: Wood shift knob for 02 auto

    Hey. Just wondering if anyone had one of these they wanted to get rid of. I can't see paying the $200+ from the dealer. I really like my sport package and all but am I the only one who still thinks wood trim looks better than leather?

    Will new speakers sound any better?

    I've got an 02 LS8 Sport with the premium Alpine. I was curious if changing the factory speakers out for aftermarket ones would improve the sound any noticeable amount.

    Weird Noise?

About two weeks ago we had our first cold snap and the first morning that it was cold I cranked my car as normal and noticed when I backed out that the power steering squeeled a little. I attributed this to the cold temps but since then everytime I crank my car it has this...

    Beeping for no reason

    I hope someone here can tell me what the hell is going on. About maybe twice a tank of gas I get a beeping that sounds like the "low fuel" beeping noise but nothing shows up on the display and it doesn't matter how much gas is in the tank. I've had it to O.C. Welch twice now and they can't...

    auto down windows

    Just noticed a few days ago that the auto down feature on my drivers side window is not working. I know from past experience that it is controlled by a relay normally located under the dash. I assume this is the case with the LS. Has anyone else had this problem? I'm going to run it by the...

    Which Hoen bulbs?

    O.K. I got a question on something that Gray Ghost had helped me on before. I'm looking at getting a matched set of Hoen bulbs (low,high,fog) but I'm getting conflicting advice on which lowbeam to get. Hoen said to get the titanium low and the xenonmatch fogs but the regular xenonmatch lows...

    K&N filter

    My question is this. I've had K&N filters in every vehicle I've owned from 5.0 Mustangs to 4.0 Ranger 4x4 and I've not been able to notice any difference in MPG or power. Has anyone who has it on an LS V8 been able to notice any difference? I always found it kinda a pain to clean and re-oil...
