Anybody help me out? Neighbor just bought a used one and has no remote or trunk key - any help appreciated.

I just purchased an absolutely mint 1981 TC with 80 k miles and knew the original Wixom assembly team leader/owner who passed last year. I'm curious about production data - also this car has a very unique oversize ASC sunroof - may have been dealer installed but it is magnificent (all...

... perhaps 3 weeks of genuine effort is not coming to fruition. Perhaps this message thread from Rich to me to Rich will explain - the subject is finding a cheapo chinese reproduction headlight plant who will agree to mold replacement high failure rate headlights for our oem high failure...

A friend was driving my 1994 mark and on one of these -10 degree days decided it would be wise to attempt to not only start the car that cold, but then cycle the windshield wipers to free them from their iced-in-place position. Net result is the wipers don't park - stay either straight up or...

Three things: 1. Anyone ever try redying the steering wheel on a tan or grey wheel with any success or failure? Mine is discolored and icky. 2. There is a carbon fiber/wood/chrome shifter being offered on ebay as a mark viii replacement - pretty custom and neat - opinions? 3...

I've seen some wonderful and very attractive 100% duty-cycle air ride pumps in "Lowrider" magazine that would be a HUGE performance improvement vs our stock pump. How difficult would it be to integrate a different pump into the factory control system? The pump control is simply on or off...

I'm currently shopping for an early 80's TC or MK vi 4 door (low miles - for a great example hit this link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=002&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=120108258427&rd=1,1 ) These cars are WONDERFUL but run...

I'd love to see members post a photo (or detailed description) of their favorite aftermarket rim along with rim name/type, diameter, tire and wheel size/width info etc for their Mark VIII.... I think a thread like that would help us as we shop for aftermarket rims to update our cars - I...

...p*sses me off! I've got a couple of the light-bar lights out on the edge of my gen-1 trunk lid. So I go to autozone to buy the bulbs, and NOWHERE in the owner's manual does it contain information on the type of bulb or how to access them. Can someone please pass on this apparently TOP...

...before I order a used one? I notice a bunch available for about $50 including shipping.... Anyone want to sell a known-good one or should I order from a junkyard? 1994 Series 1, module/actuator from inside fenderwell.

...I've got the dreaded rusty pan :mad: - it is beginning to leak. Can it be repaired in-car? I'm thinking of trying the same "clay" epoxy covered with a thick coat of flex liquid epoxy that worked on a punctured pan, followed by a nice thick coat of no-rust primer and paint..... I...

...hey all, I'm hoping that as a Mark VIII community some of you would get a kick out of this - I'm familiar with this car. Right now it is on ebay, and I almost bought it but chose a different '77 SEL. I really recommend this model Mercedes as the ultimate garage-buddy for a Mark for two...

....I want to see someone do THIS to an LSC!!

I swiped that thread title from a very hot debate on the Cadillac side... and here was my reply: I am afraid that I'll have the final word on this.... In 1991, 1992 and 1993, I was part of the introduction and reliability team for the Mark VIII product launch. At the time I was senior...

...I used the term "Alvins" to describe you electronic gear-heads (Chip Monks?) Then I was noodling on something I need really bad.... Mercedes from 1991 up has had chronic problems with unrepairable electronic control modules for seats and top mechanisms on the SL convertible line...

...I've decided my next acquisition is going to be a 1987 Continental, preferably a Signature series like a Valentino. Anybody have an original brochure or information on the various options/models available in the 87 Conti?

Here's the new Mark VIIII.... scheduled for introduction in 2009. I guess it is going to have a base 5-cylinder diesel with water injection and be electronically limited to 110 mph. KIDDING :D http://www.cwwcardesign.com/index.html

...got my first scratch on the Mark! Pulled into the garage a few inches too far and nicked the edge of my license plate frame on a plastic recycling bin! Argh! Just a tiny little ouchee but damn it stings! It took NOTHING to crack that little edge... I barely nudged the plastic box...
