Hi, I can't seem to access the article behind today's picutre of the day regarding a hybrid Cadillac or something as this requires registration on their site. Don't feel like doing that - can somebody post this article with pics here? Thanks!

The Northstar engine on my 99 Eldorado ETC seems to be shaking noticeably when starting for a few minutes. It is summer now so cold can't be the problem. There is also enough oil in there, and the gas is from Shell (mid-grade). The odometer says 72 k miles. What could be causing the...

My 99 Eldorado has about 70 k miles down, I strongly assume the previous owner (I bought it at about 63 k) never changed the cabin air filter. I just read an article in the paper that one should change it every 10 k miles or so. Anybody ever done this? How does one change it, and how much...

How long do the batteries in the key remote really last? My 99 Eldorado has 70k miles, and I can only open the car from a few yards away. Often I have to stand there and try several times, which I annoys me given that everyone else on the parking lot seems to be able to open their cars from 30...

My tires are practically new and have only been driven 5 k miles, but they have been on almost a year and have lost some pressure (not much). I looked in the booklet regarding the recommended tire pressure but it didn't have any concrete answers. What should be the proper tire pressure for...

I want to get an oil change done and bring my own oil (so I can be sure that good quality is used) - how many quarts will I need to to a complete change? I have a 99 Eldorado with the 4.6 l V8 Northstar.

How often is one supposed to change the air filter on a 99 Eldorado? I changed mine about 5000 miles ago, conditions are not too dusty. Also, what about the cabin air filter? My Eldo has 68 k miles, I doubt the previous owners ever changed them...

So why is there no Town Car forum? Not that I own one, just wondering....? Besides, the Town Car is the Lincoln I like best.

My 99 Eldorado ETC shows "change engine oil soon" and 9 % oil life left. However, I checked the oil and it looks fine, other than being a little dark. The eldo has run approximately 4000 miles since the last oil change. How does the oil quality sensor really work? I was told by someone...

My windshield wiper arms are wrapped in some kind of black plastic (99 Eldorado with 66k miles). Unfortunately, that has peeled away, revealing wiper arms (I mean those that carry the wiper blades) that are completely rusted. Is it normal to have the plastic wrapping around the wiper arms or...

Well, the other day I bought a new battery after my Eldo wouldn't start after standing around from 2-3 weeks while I was away. This has happened several times before in the past so I figured it could use a new battery. The battery that was in there when I bought the car at 60 k miles a year...

I have a white 99 Eldorado ETC and scraped the painted side protection panel on the driver's side on a piller in a tight parking garage. It's not serious but it bugs me and I would like to have that panel repainted. Can that be done without removing the panel? Also, how do I find the...

Has anyone experienced trouble with CDs burned from itunes? I burned a CD yesterday, which works fine on the computer, on my CD player at home and in my Mustang, but my 99 Eldo only gives back "CD Error". My car has the Bose sound system, so wtf?

I was at the drive-in movie theater with my 99 Eldorado the other day. I had the engine turned off and the car on P. The sound experience of the Bose system is awesome, if you crank it up all the way it's just like the movie house. However, every 10 minutes or so the radio would go off and...

I recently noticed that the upper part of the rear bumper that is covered by the trunk lid has a few orangy rust pockets building up. My 99 Eldorado is white, so they stick out. What should I do about that? If I scrape them off that will damage the paint, but I don't want the problem to...

I have the Cooper Lifeliner white stripe tires on my 99 Eldorado. They are actually only a few months old but are not so shiny and white like they were when they were bought. Even the car wash doesn't change that. How can I get them to be nice and white like they once were and stay that way?

Can someone tell me what those buttons on top of P and below 2 are for? One looks like a snowflake symbol, the other like an "S" in the middle of a sun? Thanks!

Something has happened to my driver's side mirror glass. It has 2 or 3 chemical stains that vary in position. One day they are here, the next day they are somewhere else, and anything seen in that mirror looks orangish. I took a look on ebay and found a cheap 20 Dollar mirror glass...

I was comparing prices on used CTSs of different years, but couldn't figure out which model years have Stabilitrak or similar. I find this to be an essential safety feature on a rwd car. So which model years have this, and was this only an option for some or standard? If it was only an...

Hi, I have more or less brand new Cooper white stripe tires on my 99 Eldorado. What is the best way to keep the stripes nice and white and looking like on the day they were bought? Do they fade with time? If so, how soon would that happen?
