It's been a while since I sold my LS and got the MKZ. Love the MKZ mileage, miss the style and V8 on the LS. The MKZ is nice, but it doesn't have "it". Anyway, cleaning out my garage and found a brand new set of Duralast front and rear brake pads for '02 lincoln LS V8. I'm sure they'll...

I just got a 2008 MKZ and the card with the keyless entry code is not in the owner's manual folder. I didn't get the car from a Ford dealership and they wanted $50 to read the code out. So I figured I'd see if there was a way to locate it myself. I saw a thread for an 07 MKZ which said...

I love my LS, but at work they're giving out car allowances for sales if your car is 5 yrs old or less, so I pulled the trigger on a new (to me) 2008 MKS which I got a pretty good deal on. I'm looking to get some input on what my LS may be worth. Details are: 2002 LS V8 sport 88k miles...

2002 LS V8 sport: Switch on dash won't activate trunk release solenoid, was working a few weeks ago as that's the last time I can remember using the dash switch to open the trunk. I can still open the trunk using the remote, so I know the solenoid itself is ok and the latch isn't jammed or...

I don't post hardly at all and don't lurk much more and this post runs the risk of seeming all touchy feely and dangerously close to being in touch with my emotions. But I just want to say thanks to all the regulars here for their good advice and the info they provide on the forum. So...

Well, the LS has always officially been my wife's car, but I've loved driving it. But baby wants something bigger to haul the kids and their stuff easier so the LS is going away. I was hoping from some advice on pricing. Car details: 2002 LS V8 Sport w/sunroof 62,000 miles - good...

I was cleaning up my garage and found the hydraulic cooling fan pump I had bought thinking I was going to have to replace the actuator and the pump. Background: My 02 LS V8 was overheating after driving on the highway for a bit. I thought I was going to have to replace the pump and actuator...

Just wanted to say thanks to Max at Five Star Ford. He made me a very good deal on the parts for the hydraulic fan pump replacement I needed to do. I basically ended up saving about 40% compared to buying the parts at the local dealership even with shipping. If you need parts I'd...

My wife's 2002 LS V8 overheated on Saturday. I checked the following: 1. Degas bottle coolant level low after overheat, but didn't take much to top it off. 2. Ran engine and bled coolant system to check for air bubbles, didn't get any significant amount of air out of the system. 3...

First off, let me say I blatantly stole the basic guide from Quik LS' post. So the credit goes to him. I changed the clock spring on my 2002 LS last night. While it was pretty straight forward, I thought I'd add some additional details while the it's fresh in my mind. The cost for the...

I need to find a couple of parts for my wife's 2002 LS V8. Since I know a lot of guys here do dash mods and radio swaps, I figured I'd ask if anybody has either of these items laying around they might want to sell? Stock radio with 6 disc changer. Current one will no longer eject CDs from a...

Got in a small bumper bender and the bumper flexed up and broke out the tail light lens. Before I go give my money to the dealer/auto parts place I thought I'd see if anyone had one they want to sell. On a side note, the guy who hit me had Allstate and after telling me for 2 montsh they were...

My wife's '02 LS (V8, 50K miles) has been having some small troubles lately and I wanted to ask for advice. 1. Yesterday, it started experiencing a rough idle and giving a Cyl 8 misfire code. Thanks to the tech articles I don't have any worries about being able to get to the coil, but I...

First off, finally found a place where it looks like I can start getting some decent info on my 2002 LS V8. Secondly, here's my issue. The battery went dead during a recent coldish snap (hey this is Texas, it was sort of cold). Battery voltage was down to about 6-7 volts. I didn't think...
