I was on a drive through window this weekend and the queue was very long, as I approached the window I noticed that my temp is slowly creeping up (normally the needle is at the center of "O" in the NORMAL label) By the time I'm done it's almost at the edge of the NORMAL range and I have to turn...

I noticed transmission fluid leaking on the stock radiator transmission cooler. The radiator still is good on the coolant side and I don't want to replace it with aftermarket (they all suck but the OEM is pricey) Since I don't want to spend that much on this car I just decided to buy a hayden...

When I tried the NAV on my head unit it's looking for the disc, where is the GPS dvd receiver located. I have a head unit that doesn't flip up to reveal a slot behind (the cd slot is in the front face and it's not a THX model) Any info on how to make the rear dvd work (is it supposed to light...

I've been a long time member here, previous LS owner and a current Continental owner. I just added to my stable an 04 Navigator with 220k miles. The exhaust is very loud, the owner said that the clamp after the cat is bad (I think the new exhaust in whole was bad) it's really noisy because of...

I bought 2 suncore passive shocks to replace my front electronic shocks, I can't afford to replace it with electronic suspension ($500+) The suncore struts has instructions on how to prevent the error message displayed after the conversion. the bypass was simply a 6ohm load resistor in place of...

http://kansascity.craigslist.org/cto/5181207057.html price seems to be higher than the book value (for me it's worth $4000) test drove it and it was silky smooth, interior and exterior are fair. All stuff seems to be working. what do you guys think? i was looking up the car history and...

These ball joints are just a piece of crap. What I thought was a squeaking strut mount (or strut) was actually the ball joints. It's only 3 yrs old and the boot started to have cracks (and probably is open) Same thing with the tie rod ends since I replaced them at the same time. The tie rods...

I have this code that seems to appear every 600 miles. Clearing it works and then eventually shows up. Have to spend time in the next few days if I need a new cat or just a sensor (downstream 02 sensor) issue.

I got a $129 credit in PayPal when I purchased a new radiator a month ago, turned out the radiator transmission cooler section was ok. It was just the hose, I returned the radiator at advance auto. Decided to buy the credit a JVC head unit with bluetooth since my iphone 6 plus won't fit in the...

sold my LS last week and replaced it with a jeep wj, doesn't drive like my LS but sure is nice to drive in snow. parts a plenty and easy to work with. surely I miss my ride but she's in good hands.

My front struts started to squeak lately, was wondering if somebody tried replacing the front struts with passive gas types instead of the electronic (semi-active) ones? I'm leaning towards buying the suncore industries front strut conversion ($249) with instructions on how to disable the VDM...

http://www.lincolnvscadillac.com/forum/showthread.php?53760-Complete-Clock-Spring-Replacement-(PICS) Since I can't comment on this thread, I'll just add in as a new thread. The clockspring wire harness block (that 2nd piece that attaches to the clockspring assembly) can be removed/accessed...

what are the odds of getting a busted clockspring on the salvage yard? do owners care if their clockspring is bad and replace it soon? trying to figure out if extracting the clockspring is worth the effort or just a waste of time. I know this is a common issue among 1st gen.

Interesting why the AJ8 has no stock silencers, does it mean the original cat growls at stock configuration and the LS wasn't? http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:2001_Jaguar_S-Type_AJ-V8_engine.JPG

Just realized that there's a tool like these. Somebody has used this before? reviews? Looks very useful especially with the tight areas on the engine compartment. http://bcove.me/e2t4b3sz http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200519116_200519116

I was looking for a center vent grille on my today in one of the junk yards here. My grille is cracked on the side and I have to improvise something to hold the switches in place so that it will not fall off when pushed. Probably hite could identify the heat shield; Looking at the car...

Just want to share with you my experience trying to upgrade my base sound system (2002 LS V8 non-sport). 6-CD changer show CD error (not an issue for me since my explorer has the same issue) FM works but the sound is distorted at low level, I thought it was my reception or bad antenna...

Somebody tried installing remote start on LS? Was looking at this product but not sure how it works with the PATS bypass. http://www.amazon.com/AVITAL-4113L-Remote-Start-System/dp/B001JT57NG/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

Anybody got the same issue on the stock radio? My CD changer is already busted and just relied on radio. Am I better off replacing it or it might be a loose/cut/open antenna issue.
