Lol. well I don't smoke, never use it - and it only pops open when i put my phone between the shifter and the ashtray - think i might just glue that sucker shut. ghetto i know -but I seriously never use it and will be the only owner this car will ever know.

This morning on my way into work my dash ashtray decided it no longer wanted to stay closed. I push it in - no lock - and it slides back out. I haven't had time to get in there yet - but thought i'd post up real quick and see if anyone else has already fixed this issue. Gratzi.

It's been a long time since I've checked in on this thread - and still no one has been able to solve it. How crazy.

I'd start by giving that paint a good buffing - it looks like it could really use it. The clear on these things is pretty solid, so a good buffing will do it a LOT of good.

Full replacement it is then - any suggestion on which brand to order? Rock Auto 10 different manufacturers.

Never - only the plugs were done , car has 130K on it. The plugs were upgraded and replaced about 30K ago. Is there a way to pinpoint the coils as the issue? Found good pricing on Rock Auto - any suggestion on which brand is the best for the dollar? Thanks guys.

Hey All - the '03 LS V8 is giving me a bit of grief but I think I may have it pinpointed to one of two things. Either the Mass Airflow Sensor has to be cleaned (possibly replaced) or the fuel pump is on it's way out. Symptoms: car chokes/hesitates on acceleration between 1 & 2,000 rpms , and...

Okay. This is beyond f'ing aggravating to be befuddled by such a stupid device. I have held down the two outer buttons, slow then fast blinking. ok. things reset. Took my wifes nifty garage door opener - she hit the learn button on the Genie Garage door opener - I held down the visor button...

Lately my sunroof has decided sometimes it just doesn't want to shut. I push the button. It starts sliding like it is going to shut - and right at the point where it SHOULD latch, it decides 'nah - I wanna stay open' and slides back again. I briefly looked around up there, and the opening...

Oh sheesh - well now I've gotta know. It's done it for the last year I've had the car. Doesn't seem to affect performance at all and only does it the first start up after the car sits for a few hours (not related to outside tempature). So what did your buddy find out?

Sub'd - same sound on start up as Bigwayner - happens when I start up in the morning , i can then turn the car off and directly back on and it will not make the sound - frustrating -but glad to see I'm not alone. *mine has nothing to do with outside temperature at all - happens rear round, only...

Read the entire thread - all six pages - and it looks like no one has gotten to the bottom of this :( I have the same sound as BigWayner posted - same scenario. Only after the car has sat - (i'm in southern california, so the car is never getting 'cold') - i start it in the morning - RATTLE - i...

'03 LS V8 - 111k. Question 1 is pretty standard - question 2 might be a tad bit more intricate. 1) Is the oil change notification on the LS set for every 3K miles - or does it actually judge the quality of the oil and tell you when to change it? 3) When my '03 has sat (in any temp)...

Got the car back on Tuesday - yes it took them much longer than I'd hoped - but was finished sooner than they had thought. Car is silent as the day I got it - runs smooth, no sound, no shake, and just over all feels more solid. Here is a pic of the issue that caused it all:

@Chris & Merlon - thanks for convincing me to send her BACK to the police department. In and Out in 15 minutes, signed off - no problem. She must have just gotten an officer that was not keen to write it off. Btw, the nice office that signed it off said the guy who wrote her the ticket is a...

I agree with you both - I took the car in thinking it was a quick wheel bearing and I would get it back last Friday. They had to take the rear end down and apart to diagnose it - so I'm all in now. Thankfully I pressured them into giving me a rental car while it's in the shop since they cannot...

Telco - I was wondering why they didn't offer one, especially under the circumstances. I'm going to check to see if i can get any of the big ticket items through work any cheaper than they are retailing them. If I can't - or it's marginal, then I'll tell them just to go ahead w/ the rental car...

Alright - 24HRS LATER - the dealer got back to me. Said it needs a set of Pinion Bearings & Caps - and a set of carrier bearings - fluid and a few gaskets I believe. The big ticket items are the two sets of bearings. I'd wager a guess that both do not need replaced and only have minor wear and...

Cars got 110 easy miles on it, woman before me was 73. I've had it for 10k of those miles - aggressive at times, but never driven stupidly. Lot of HWY miles to work. And it just started making the noise about 5 days ago or so. Really hoping it's not major surgery. Kumba you seem to know quite a...

UPDATE/NEWFLASH/IMPORTANT TITLE INSERT HERE Lincoln Dealership just called back - said it is NOT the wheel bearing, after test driving and putting it up on the lift -they said it is 100% my rear end. And the number one reason they are sure (besides where the sound is coming from) is that the...
