    Lincoln is definately stepping up its game!

    I wont mention the certain "Non-LS" vehicle i recently purchased but there became a problem with one of the rear door locks recently. Not a big deal, its under warranty so i figured i'd drop it off today and in the meantime drive a new model rental. The Lincoln dealer i use stopped using...

    Discovered major flaw with MKS

    The MKS has push button start and a smart fob that you just keep in your pocket. Great convienence but i find a huge problem with it. The glove box has no keylock because there is no "key" and the trunk button inside doesnt have the ability to lock with a key either like in the LS. I...

    Tell me thats not a sexy car

    Had windows tinted last week. Just detailed it today. I like the front end, i like the Lincoln logo on the front fender. It just just hollers luxury to me. Pic isnt that great, taken with phone. Trust me i loved the look of the LS being very Beamer like, but Lincoln has just gone with a...

    Hidden MKS SST feature vs. LS SST

    Eventually i'll get off this forum talking about my MKS but i thought i'd share this because i found it interesting. Apparently the MKS has the same feature where you can slide the shifter from "D" to SST. Big difference with the MKS is that you can just leave it in that position and the "D"...

    Whats up with UV dye for engine oil?

    I stopped by Pep Boys today to get a nail in a tire fixed and thought i'd ask about getting some oil uv dye to try to find out where i have developed my leak. The guy told me they absolutely dont sell it there. Why? Legal issues? Possible contamination with engine oil? He really didnt give...

    I have posted about this before but its still happening and never really got a decent answer or explanation. When i drive at highway speeds during moderate to heavy rain and then pull off on an off ramp for example and come to a stop the car studders and acts like it wants to stall out. I have...

    Oil Pan Gasket Leak?

    I did some searching and didnt find anything. Anyone ever have an issue with the oil pan gasket forming a leak? Some of the bolts holding the pan get little drops of oil forming on them and the gasket area itself looks a little "oily". The car has 185k miles so i figure that gasket must have...

    Bad Wheel Bearing

    Would a bad wheel bearing cause uneven tire wear? Or just alignment/camber out of spec? My passenger front tire became worn on the first two inches on the inner side. There is a "tread" noise coming from front when driving straight, get louder when steering left, goes away completely when...

    What did the dealer do??

    After spending two days to tell me there was a leak in the manifold line, i asked them to just charge it and let me ride. They said they cant charge a system with a leak. Ok. They promised there wasnt any less r134 than when i brought it and suggested i buy a can to recharge myself. It was...

    I have noticed something that occurs only when driving in hard rain storm. I have the stock intake box but i removed the snorkel thing attached. When under the car i see a direct path to the paper element of the filter. Is it possible that when driving in hard rain and having lots of spray...
