    Man after spending some time in africa and seeing the beating that a car can take before it quits or falls apart, everything seems very durable to me, even plastic. if its not constant or loud worry about it some other time.

    2000 Lincoln LS

    Bought in Febuary '05 with 57k. Found a good deal on ebay and loved the car.

I owned an '88 mustang GT black on black, and my brother owned a '89 mark VII...

    Tune up.

    Hey friends, So, i too am experiencing an occasional misfire and am looking into my options for fixing the problem. The way I see it is that I can replace all eight coils and plugs and start fresh, pay the dealer to diagnose the bad coil and then replace the one/s, or buy a scan tool for...

    Rear Mirror and auto wipers

    My rear mirror tint does not work and is half way full of the tinted fluid that I assume makes the mirror darker to reduce headlight glare, and my auto wipers also do not work. I was looking around and I noticed that the black box located on the windshield behind the mirror was not attached on...

    llsoc member and lvc member???

    I would be interested in joining llsoc just for more of the technical diy stuff that I hear that it offers. I hate paying a dealership to fix something that just a little time and brainwork would fix, so any resource that would help me from really messing up my car would be worth it to me. So. ...

    Power Chips and PCM Codes?

    "Just make sure you get the $50 cable for your computer." Am I right to assume that I will be able to program the unit myself with my computer and the computer cable, or is this just so I have a way to hook it up to the car? Torrie said that he could make a program for my car, so I am now...

    tranny shifting slow

    My 2000 LS V8 does great shifting at slow to moderate speeds, but when I get on the gas from moderate to WOT the shifting lags and is often accompanied by the smell of hot rubber (i smell it when i get out of the car, not on the inside and only after quick acceleration). If I disconnected the...
