    Okay, anyone using the spare tire well of the late mkviii for a tool box?

    Had my second flat go beyond repair, and going through the nonsensical mount the space saver to the front tire, and move the front tire to the back ridiculousness. I will order a real wheel and spare, and relegate the donut to the garage shelf. But then have the hole where that little spare...

    Are the earlier mk viii steering wheels compatible with the 1998 cars?

    The leather on the very top of my '98 steering wheel is drying out. Wondering what my options are. If the wheel fits, but the airbag is different, is that compatible?

    What commercially available ramps work well with fitting under the front of our MK8's?

    I used to have a set of 'race ramps' but gave them away when I moved. Now they cost $260. So I'm wondering if there is a different brand which will work, that I DON"T have to adjust with additional boards, that will function as is to raise the front end of the car so I can do routine maintenance.

    What years have a column shift? All I'm finding is console shifters...

    I don't quite understand. It's as if they think everyone buying a luxury SUV is a boy racer who wants to run it up through the gears and pretend they have a 7 speed manual tranny. Anyway, I have a '98 with an automatic and the shifter is on the steering column, and I want to get something newer...

    Deeper centercaps w/ Lincoln star logo for Konig wheels?

    I put some nice runlite 10 spoke gold anodized wheels on my ivory Mk 8, but the center caps aren't deep enough to stay on the wheels; they pop off. So I need deeper centercaps. Also, if anyone knows, are centercaps available with the Lincoln star on them anywhere? Or will I have to make them...

    If anyone has had a repair shop in northern NJ do the coil conversion for them, please let me know. I came home tonight and right rear corner is 2" lower than the left. Everything else normal. I thought it might have been a little low once a couple weeks ago, but the difference in height was...

    Are front and rear captains chairs upolstery same? How about frame?

    The front seats leather on my 98 Navigator is falling apart. The backs are fine. They look almost identical. So, if I just pick up a pair of back seats how much is the same that I can transfer to the fronts (even the foam is falling apart on the front ones)? Are the upright parts on the back...

    Intro, & tire/wheel advice needed. Keys too?

    Hi, my name's Don. I just purchased a 98 SLC, looks ivory color. about 110k miles. Runs great, but wheels are enkei with lots of road rash. Will need new tires too, so I'm looking for new wheels. Spotted Konig Runlite's in gold which will probably go well with the ivory color of the car. But I'd...

    Hi from the nightfly. Recently purchased a '98 Mk8 LSC

    Over the July 4th weekend, I took a drive, and took the plunge. Purchased a '98 Mk8 LSC. Drives nice, interior good shape, exterior decent with some rust on the passenger door bottom. So far that's all I can say. I'll get more into it when I pick it up Thursday. Already have a 928 to play with...
