    New Rack & Pinion?

    I had my 2001 V8 in a few years ago for a noisy power steering pump. The noise was very clearly coming from the pump, but they claimed it was the rack and pinion. The changed it, but not the pump. The next morning the noise was obviously still there so I took it back and they changed the pump...

    Akebono Brake Pads???

    I've had Akebono ceramic pads (Tire Rack) on the front for about a year with stock rotors. They are not as good as the stock pads when cold, but are better than stock when warmed up. As mentioned, no more dust to clean off the wheels.

    It's a Volvo The MKS is really just a Volvo S80 with different sheet metal and engine. At least you can get an S80 with a 311HP V8 and AWD.

    What the hell?? Somebody is using my pictures to sell their shiit on ebay.

However, if it's a digital image you would have had to...

    Squirters?

    That doesn't work because they have a check ball in them that prevents backflow. Most likely this ball is stuck closed. First remove the hose from the back of the unit or at the T connector and try blowing air through it. If that doesn't free it you'll need to remove the unit from the hood and...

    Belt Noises

    Mine has 33K on it. I don't drive it every day so I think the belt developed a hard spot in it. The squeak was only occurring when it was cold and was squeaking at a rate less than one engine revolution so I suspected the belt rather than one of the idler pulleys. Rather than go with a factory...

    Belt Noises

    Just changed mine on Saturday (2001 V8 Sport). Took about half an hour. Had to remove the plastic engine cover and the air tube from the air cleaner box to the throttle body. When facing the car, on the right is a radiator hose that is mounted to the head with a hard plastic section. You will...

    Drivers Side Grab Handle

    I have a tall torso, but short legs so my seat is in a forward position. However, even with the seat all the way down, the top of my head still brushes the head liner. If I tilt my head to the left it hits the grab handle. The handle is not one of the type that folds up on a swivel. It sticks...

    Drivers Side Grab Handle

    2001 V8 Sport. Anyone have a procedure for removing the grab handle above the drivers side door? I keep banging my head on it.

    Death to PA Drivers!

    You're lucky it wasn't one of the South George St. drug dealers. Instead of being hit you would have had the hit put on you.

    Best wax EVER

    I use Zymol. I don't know if it works better than any other wax, but it certainly smells better than any other wax I've used.

    Test Drive: Mazda MX-5 and Mini Cooper S

    Anyone test drive the 2006 MazdaSpeed6? 274HP and AWD. That's a hundred more horses than the Miata has.

    Jaguar S-type steering wheel on LS. Airbag question. ???.

    Could be a bit dangerous to put a Jag airbag into the Lincoln. Aren't the size, deployment rate, and deflation rate of an airbag engineered for a specific vehicle? If the weight of the car is substantially different and the dynamics of the crush zone are different, it could cause the airbag to...

    Future Lincolns

    Nope, no photos. I have a bone stock autumn 2001 V8 Sport. I've had it for just over a year. Traded in a 97 Olds Aurora that was falling apart with only 65K miles on it. Had a 93 SHO before the Olds.

    Future Lincolns

    QUIK! subj: FIRST 5 SUPERCHARGERS

    The Zephyr did not replace it. I heard from a Lincoln dealer there will be a new model coming out next year that will replace it. There is a good chance it will be called a Continental. He also said that a new Town Car will be coming out and there is a possibility that it will have rear suicide...

    Placing Jack Stands?

    You can cause a stress point in the aluminium suspension components which you may not be able to see. Unlike steel, which will usually show a crack forming long before failure, aluminium just suddenly snaps. You won't know it failed until after you wake up in the hospital. I have a friend who...
