    HID kit and installation instructions

    Mine, too, went out. But I opted for a used original from Bruce Budnick, Double B Marks -- Dbleb88@yahoo.com. From what I gather, the conversions are iffy, and you have to be very careful.

    What is best way to repair a twisted transmission cooler line?

    If it were me, I'd cut and clamp. Fast and easy. Integrity of fluid flow is what's important, as long as its the right size and doesn't leak..... Wtf, right?

    18,000 miles mark for sale

    Yes, parts and labor and everything in CT is outrageous. But still, if I knew then all that I know now ... I could have done all that I did, not just fr and rr ends, for probably half what I put into it.

    18,000 miles mark for sale

    I'm embarrassed to admit how I was taken. went to mechanic referred to by a friend who admitted, "he's expensive. But the best there is." I had a lot of expensive lessons learning about my MK. Anyway, I was into the entire front end for nearly $1500.00. Afraid my days of turning that kind of...

    18,000 miles mark for sale

    I had my entire front end replaced with Moog Problem Solving components, plus every bushing front and rear, including, engine, tranny, and differential mounts. Everything. with new Arnot shocks in the rear (though I'm not that happy with them--a little too stiff for my taste). And yes, I can...

    Abs

    I swear these cars fix themselves. On mine the steering column wouldn't go in or out when set to Easy Access. And then, suddenly, it did. All on its own. And that's not all.

    Fix air suspension or install coils

    I have a 106 K miles 97 base with original air suspension that's been ok. But after all I've read in this forum for the past few months, I'm counting my blessings while waiting for the inevitable failure. Supercoupe.com offers coil over adjustable shocks that, apparently, can be set for whatever...

    Sluggish Performance Question

    I stored my 97 MK for the winter and disconnected the battery. I went to check on it after a couple weeks and it took forever to start, and once it did, it ran as if on only a few cylinders. It eventually smoothed out, but then stalled a few times while I let it idle. I decided to drive it for a...

    93 Mark Viii oil filter adapter gasket

    After 20 years and 90 k miles, my '97's didn't leak, though had it replaced anyway when I had the motor mounts replaced. Tighten the bolts and see what happens.

    Advanced heat problem!

    If water pump I can't imagine it wouldn't overheat, though compressibilty of hose is odd. Yes, your issue is a real head-scratcher. I'm at a loss. Post to the LvC facebook page, its more active than this forum. You may get better feedback.

    Advanced heat problem!

    Are you getting any heat at all, like a little warm, but just not hot? If so, don't just flush the system, but maybe go to a pro center for a full back flush with cleaning solvent. Maybe the heater core is just plugged up a little where a simple flush fixed it for a bit, but not enough to not...

    What did you do to your Mark VIII today?

    Had the beast buffed, fully detailed, and finalized with the new ceramic coating. Prestige Auot Detail in Salt Lake City did an incredibly awesome job!!
