    Size 65 battery?

    I'm having a hard time finding a size 66 battery that's affordable/available. I called a battery place and they said a size 65 would work for a car that takes a size 66. Anyone used a size 65 in their LS?

    2006 LS random rattling sound when idle?

    You can hear it at about 15-17 seconds. I have no idea what it is. It comes and goes every 10 seconds or so. I haven't heard it when driving, just idle, but that could be due to the fact I can't hear it because I'm driving.

    CD stuck while trying to eject

    I did some googling before posting before one of you chews me out. I pulled the fuse out and put it back in and nothing was fixed. Also I have the 6 disc nav unit and a lot of the solutions I saw were for the basic models. Any idea how to get the damn disc out? The thing runs the whole time the...

    Help ID part please

    I found this in the grass area between my car and my neighbor's car. I'm not even sure if it's mine or his. He isn't home right now so I was wondering if someone could ID if this came off my LS. Looks like it could be part of the suspension or something.

    Check engine light?

    I got this yellow light to appear a few days ago. Not sure if it's the check engine light or what, it seems kind of subtle for a check engine light. I replaced all my coils a few months back and the car is running great and temperature is fine. Any ideas what this could be? Also ran through all...

    Car randomly shakes when stopped.

    Ok so my car randomly "nudges" when I'm stopped at a light. It feels like someone just shoved the car. It's slight but you can feel it. I've had the car for 5 years now and haven't changed the coils yet, could that be the cause? I also recently replaced an ERG valve tube, I wonder if it went in...

    Engine won't turn over when parked on slope

    I think my fuel pump might be going out. Sometimes when I'm parked on a slope the car won't start unless I try several times. When parked on flat ground I've never had a problem getting it to start. I've put fuel injection cleaner though the car twice and it didn't really help. The battery and...

    Squeaking sound from center of dash!?

    I've had a squeaking sound from my center dash since I bought the car but it started out very subtle and would only happen when I start the car. Now it has gotten really loud and won't stop. Any idea as to what this is, how to fix it, etc. Here's a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FylM4bU-TI

    Coolant leak for the 100th time

    I've replaced almost everything that has to do with coolant in this car and I got yet another dreaded leak right after I replaced my Degas bottle (again). I think I pin pointed where it's coming from. It's from the top hose in this housing area. Any thoughts? windows screenshot

    Ok guys I'm having a quarter life crisis and I wanna mod the LS

    I'm looking to make the LS somewhat faster since I'm getting bored of it and can't find another car I want that I can afford. I know you can't make miracles happen with the car but I'm thinking about picking up the K&N typhoon air filter. I know there are tons of threads on it but I'd like to...

    Changed alternator "Check Charging System"

    I changed my alternator today with some help (not an easy job) and after it was changed I got a "Check Charging System" (or something very close to that can't remember) error and the battery light came on. Also the power steering was not working. I'm thinking we didn't crank the belt down tight...

    Need advice

    So a guy's car rolled into the back of my LS yesterday and I need advice. I have all the guy's info, plus hit and run coverage worse case scenario. But I'm wonder what you guys think would be the best way to handle this repair wise. Someone suggested I get a new bumper all together and it would...

    Driver's door panel rattle?

    I've been MIA on here for a while which means I've had no problems (thank god). I now have a rattle coming from the driver's door. It was there when I bought the car but since I had subwoofers installed it's gotten much worse. I notice it mainly when going over bumpy roads. I just put some...

    Fender dent

    So Thursday morning someone I know backed into my car and dinged it. They will pay for a dent removal which is like $80 here (I know because the same fender was dented before...). But that fender is going to look pretty junky after getting and 2nd dent pulled out. Should I just try to get a new...

    Holy!

    Was browsing CL and saw this. The price caught my eye, but 300k miles, that's impressive. http://fresno.craigslist.org/cto/2956764781.html

    Interior brake light thing hanging..

    So this part of my interior lining hangs where the brake light is. Is this common and is there any way to fix it? It just looks kind of sloppy and I think it's causing a rattle when my subs are hitting hard. Not to mention it hinders my rear view. I've thought about hot gluing or double sided...

    Slow shifting

    Ok I know there has been a lot of topics about the LS not shifting quickly but the other night I was driving home from getting some 24 hour mexican food when I got stuck behind this guy was going 35 in a 50 and was most likely drunk. As soon as the opportunity presented itself I got into the...

    Removing front grille....

    I have been at this damn thing for 40 minutes and have only gotten 1 out of the 4 tabs free. I've been using a flat head screw driver to try and push the tabs in but it's not working too well. Not to mention the awkward angle I have to stand in other to work under the grille. Please tell me...
