    RDS Traffic

    How do you use this function on the radio, I can select it in the menu and hit scan, but it stops on random stations with no traffic broadcast. I was reading about it on wikipedia, and it looks like with some implementations it can auto switch to a traffic broadcast...

    VCG / COP Replacement

    Just had my 03 at the dealer for what I knew was a failing COP, as expected. However, I thought it was standard to replace the VCG as the source of the problem. They only replaced the one failing COP, and the service rep said "I don't THINK yours had any oil in the well." So is there an issue...

    Troy, Michigan

    Anyone here work in Troy, I was walking on lunch today and saw a silver LS with black wheels and some meaty ass tires on the back. I was hoping they have something done to the car that requires those tires, and if so, for a ride of course! :D

    Air-Ride Suspension Problems

    I posted this in the continental section, but there's not a lot of people in there, and since the mark has stock air suspension as well, I hope someone here can help/ I purchased a 98 Continental last week and it was sitting on the ground with little to no air in the bags, so I get it home...

    Anyone know about air suspensions?

    Just so we're clear - NOT for the LS. I just got a conti, and I posted this in their forum, but they're useless over there lol. No there's just a lot more people here. Anyway, if you can help, please read on... I purchased a 98 last week and it was sitting on the ground with little to no...

    Well, sorta. I've been around for a while, but I'm selling my LS and I bought a conti today. It's a high mile 98 with a few things to work on, but the price was right and it's a very nice car. So Hello Conti forum, and goodbye car payment :D . I'm sure I'll be asking all sorts of questions...

    Possible New Conti Driver

    I'm looking into buying a 1998 Lincoln Continental. Just a cheapy for a while, 167,000 miles, $2000. The seller says the rear side air suspension may need a new sensor or compressor, worst case it's compressor, he tells me he got a quote for $450 parts and labor to repair. Does this sound...

    1993 Eldorado stuck in 3rd

    Hi guys, I'm looking at purchasing a 93 eldo with some trans problems, hoping you guys can tell me it's something common and cheap to fix. Here is what he says... I'm assuming the motor was replaced because of head gaskets at ~100k if it was under warranty, but I don't know anything about...

    Advancetrac?

    Hey guys, what are the signs that an LS has the advancetrac system? I always figured that because I never saw the word anywhere and that it wasn't advertised, I didn't have it on my 03V8. However, tonight I did a little playing in the snow and it finally hit me, that I cannot lose control of...

    New Signature

    What do you guys think of the new sig? I'm not sure whether I like it or not, but I don't know what I want to do to it. I like it simple. I'm not any good with photoshop, but I'm learning. Any suggestions?

    Snow!!!

    Anybody in the midwest out having fun in the snow tonight? I just got back from a little joy ride, we're supposed to get something like 8" overnight. Everybody knows how well the LS drives in the snow, but it sure is fun when you're not trying to get somewhere.

    Alternate AUX input

    I've done my research on auxiliary inputs on the LS, and have decided to take the cheap route, but make it look good. I've got an FM transmitter that I will be installing in the low part of the headliner right next to the high brake light. I will run an audio cable from there to the front of the...

    New Tires

    I dropped almost $800 on tires today. Stupid car... Anyway, I just bought the Goodyear Eagle Response Edges, they seem good so far, they're a lot better than the cheapos I had on it before. I can't wait to try them in the rain or snow. Anyone else have them, or any thoughts on them?

    Rear passenger side interior light problem

    I was just curious if anyone else was experiencing this "problem." Sometimes in my 03, I'll get in and the interior lights are all on except for the one on the rear passenger side. I can turn the car off and back on, turn the lights on with the dimmer, open and close the doors, no change...

    New exhaust

    I just put flowmasters on my 03V8, the car sounds just like I wanted it to, deep and a little more bite to it, not loud, not nasty. However, the car feels SOO slow, I dont know if it's the loss of some back pressure, or if it's just the computer getting used to the change, or maybe it's just in...

    MKZ Wheels

    I was thinking about getting a set of MKZ Wheels, theres a set on ebay for $380 for all four. Chrome 17" to replace my 03 sport 17's, they fit the same right? Will my 235/17/55 (I think - stock tires) fit the mkz wheels? I threw together a quick chop for an idea, and I think I like.

    Moving drivers seat back

    I'm finding that I am too tall for my 03 LS, so I'm thinking about unbolting the seat, and re-bolting it a few inches back. Has anyone ever done this, or any tips from anyone who's removed the seats, am I going to have problems with the vent work for the heated/cooled seats, or wires for the...
