I am glad to see everyone. Unity, you are my hero!! The cars you list are all vehicles that cause me flashbacks and nightmares. But when they're on and working right? Wow, what fun.

My "affair" is with a '97 XK8 that I found much in the same condition my Lincoln was in when I first saw her. Under a carport, silently rusting in the Canadian winter with seven year old tags. But, it had a timing belt guide upgrade and only 70k miles so I threw the dice. I was lucky in that all...

I am going to reincarnate my '98 tomorrow. After a fling with a younger prettier Jaguar, I'm going back to old reliable. I have taken out the plugs and juiced the cylinders, installed a new battery and have all four corners up on jackstands to take stress off the airbags. Any advice is welcome...

My profile says Aug 2010. So, my first Mark- a 95 was purchased at that time. Did I have fun making that car right. learned a lot and everyone here should be paid as I saved mucho dinero. Now, I'm on my 3rd. Or 4th. A '98 LSC slicktop that has been bullet proof. Watch out - now I've jinxed it...

I have sourced 8 different coils from a fellow sufferer who claims the car he got them from is operating on all eight at all times. So next will be to install said replacements along with new spark plugs and a new fuel filter. The plugs and filter are less than 15k miles old but in for a penny...

I agree that I should have never left home w/o all my required tools. Sometimes I am lulled to sleep by an extended period of smooth running. Today I am driving (slowly) into the local town who assures me they can test for me. I had no idea a cylinder balance test was possible through the car...

I cannot thank you guys enough for the input. Going under the car now. Thanks again

My beautiful and faithful highway star has decided I'm not worthy. I'm stuck in the foothills of Alberta with very limited access to anything and cannot get any web response save our old friend LVC. To wit; 1998 LSC w 157k miles with all maintenance up to date. I cannot get to a scanner but the...

The real problem was the lubricant I used on the operator. I'm not a clear thinker after a dew toddies.

I gave up too soon. All went well after a few hints from someone who has already done one. Just remember that both ends of the steering shaft will slowly extend until they fit.

I found out the column will slide out to meet the connector. I also had to pull out the lower part to meet the rack. It all came together and now I have a tight column.

My changing electric column both 98's is three inches short. What have I missed?

You know, after all these years of finger-f#*+ing around, we should have come up with a method of replacing this weakness, even if it involves an outside mount. Here we are 20 years since the NEWEST one is built and we cannot overcome this problem. There is room in the wheelwell, so lets take...

JBL amp if it is so equipped. And works :)

My column became so loose it was dangerous. I found a low mile one that was tight and even had the right color. Here's where the problem starts. On my car there is a standard bolt that tightens the u-joint around the rod from the steering gear. On the replacement, it had a 1/4 inch star nut that...

Don't hold it against me that I'm originally from Red Neck Alberta! The Beemer owner doesn't know any better.

Chris, your "fleet" is incomparable. The addition of a stick shifted Coyote blows my admittedly weak brain. Keep us posted. I live my Mark dream alter-ego through you.

Very nice car, but wildly overpriced even with the discount for American dollars.

Damn good improvising. If it is working, why go to metal?
