About 10 days ago the car started knocking when stopped at a red light. I think it might be misfiring because every 4th second the car would shake/chug noticeably. The engine would be smooth, smooth, smooth, and then *spazz*. Smooth, smooth, smooth, *spazz*. This was happening off and on in...

Has anyone had this issue before? The green light comes on when I click the seat warmer button for driver, but it feels like the heating isn't working. The passenger side seat warmer is working however.

1) I think I screwed up the installation somewhere. My front door speakers work, but the front console speakers (in the carpet by the driver/passenger legs) don't seem to be working. I used a wiring harness and just connected the harness wires with the stereo wires. Is there something else I...

Hey, I got a mobile mechanic who is going to change my fluids, but I got to provide the parts. Wondering if anyone knows what parts, fluids, and how much do I need for the following: - oil change - power steering fluid change - coolant change - transmission fluid change - differential fluid...

The indicator has shown up. I thought that meant I need to re-fill the air conditioning fluid, or something related to air conditioning components. But after some searching here, supposedly the message is nothing but to replace the "cabin air filter". Is that correct, or did I misunderstand...

Wondering if anyone can take a guess as to what's going on. I heard this a little when I first bought the car in October, but didn't know how to reproduce the sound, and wasn't that frequent. But now after adding 5,000 km to it (it's at 93,500km) I think it might be more frequent. When I'm...

I'm going to try and replace the rotors & pads myself. Wondering if I can get someone who has done it before to look over and make sure I'm covering all the bases. [1] Parts: front & rear rotors & pads [2] Tools: brake pad spreader tool (is this the right tool to use to push the piston...

Moving from Ottawa to Vancouver, driving with LS and towing my apartment in a U-Haul trailer :D I'm at 54,500 miles. What should I replace before I leave on the 2,760 mile trip? Just did synthetic oil. Thinking I should replace coolant, steering and brake fluid. There's no timing "belt"...

People in RFD forums said I paid too much. I bought my 2002 LS V8 in Aug. 2012 for $6450 + tax. Had 49,000 miles and looks mint (no rust anywhere). Besides the bad gas mileage and need for some new tires, everything is working (I'm going to be replacing the coils asap). Looks like the driver...

Can't find the number anywhere. Is it 4, or 8?

Swapped stock stereo with Sony MEX4000BT recently. But now whenever I start the car, the speakers make an annoying "thump". Anyone have an idea on where/how to install this little sucker: http://www.crutchfield.com/p_120AFDI5V/Axxess-AFDI-5V.html :confused: EDIT: nvm figured it out...

I'm looking to buy 4 All Seasons online for dirt cheap. Not looking for anything best quality/high performance. Just anything to replace my stripped wheels will suffice. I'm in Ottawa/Canada so I want to ship to Ogdensburg/NY and pick it up across the border. Tires would have to be made in...

Hey there, wondering if my mileage is normal. I recently picked up a 2002 Lincoln LS V8 with 53,400 miles on odometer. I'm getting some 10mpg right now in winter driving, or about 160 miles per tank. Should I be concerned?
