Hey guys! It's been a while since I've been on here but hopefully I can get some advice on what to do next. So a couple of months ago, I posted on here that some water has gotten into my engine by the intake valves. Seems like surface rust, not too sure. First picture shows where the water has...

Hey guys, Long time in this forum. Had my 2004 LS V8 put away for the winter. Now that it's warm again, I'd like to finish where I left off. I took my intake manifold off to change the hose underneath for the cooling system. The intake manifold has been removed for about a month or so. I came...

Hey guys, how's everybody doing? So I've been trying to do my homework here as I've got a small coolant leak that I've been trying to track down for a bit now. I've been reading that there is a hose that connects to the block from underneath the intake manifold. My leak seems to be coming from...

Hey everybody! I've got an issue with my electrochromatic mirror not working. Tonight was the first time that I noticed it wasn't working, but it was working earlier in the day. I'm not sure if this is one of those gremlins that the car is blessed with or not. I've checked the fuse in the...

Hey guys, it appears that I have a leak somewhere on the manifold or gasket on the passenger side. My local Lincoln dealer quoted me $130 to replace the gasket and all that fun stuff as long as I supply the parts. The problem is, they can't get the nuts for the manifold but they can get the...

Hi guys, I've been trying to figure out my sources for control arms as my car is creaking from the rear getting in and out and going over bumps. Before the freezing cold hit I bought some all 4 rear control arms from a salvage yard to hold me over til the warm weather hits again. But I'd like...

Hey guys, My 2004 LS is experiencing issues with the door locks. After researching that this is a common problem with the actuators, I'd like to buy them to fix this issue. Would anybody have part numbers for the actuators? Also, putting the key in the hole seems to be a chore as I have to...

Hi guys, we're shopping around for another beaut! This time, I've come across another 2004 LS with 175k on the clock. The owner says they've replaced the engine with one that has 124k, but they don't have any papers. Is there a way to actually verify this? I'd like to know if the VIN stamp is...

Hey guys. My 2004 LS V8 just started making a weird noise from underneath the car. It sounds like it's coming from the center or passenger front wheel area. It's kind of like a groan of some sort. The best way I can describe it is like a manual transmission car shifting without the clutch. Like...

Hey guys, today is the first snow fall in the Cedar Rapids, Iowa area. Since I've only had the car for a few months, it's still sort of new to me. Today, while I was driving on the highway at about 45-50 mph, the car would randomly jerk, as if someone hit me from behind. On my 8 mile trip, it...

Hey guys! I have a little bit of an issue. My car started dripping in water from the headliner and A pillar. I've pulled my headliner down a bit to check and see if the tube was disconnected, and it's connected properly. I've poured a bit of water on the sunroof tray and it just sits there and...

The car isn't having an overheating problem. It's just when I start driving around in the city, around 20-30mph, the fans kick in until I start driving on the highway. The fans seem to be on at one speed as well. What can be the problem?

Hey guys! I pulled my driver's door panel off to see if I can grease the door handle since it retracts in place slowly. After looking around at all of the different modules, I came across this label on the lower left hand corner of the door. Unfortunately, I bought my car with just one key, no...

Hey guys! I've just purchased my new (to me) 2004 Lincoln LS V8. Upon bringing it home, I've noticed that the rear wheel is kind of angled up and not sitting flat on the concrete. What could be the issue here? I was told the strut can be bent in the back, but it doesn't look bent from underneath...

Hi everybody! I am brand new to this forum and have been reading over many posts in the past few days about the Lincoln LS. I am in the market for buying one, I just don't know which one to get. Can anybody guide me with any detailed information? I'm looking for specific years to buy, what...
