    New door handle only, or cable too?

    I just replaced the door handle the cable was fine. You will need a handy punch to pop out the rivets and be wise to replace them with small nuts and bolts.

    Trick to getting a good seal on the Thermostat Housing

    I have replaced the thermostat in the LS and it seems to be leaking around the bottom of the housing. I'm sure its the right thermostat as I have taken it back twice thinking it was bad.

    Coils of choice?????????

    I was wondering which coils everyone on here uses on their vehicles? I'm gathering up the parts for a springtime maintenance weekend and was on RockAuto pricing them out.

    Code 1299 and I'm clueless

    Replaced the degas bottle 2 months ago and followed the bleeding procedure to the letter and even did the park on a hill and bleed it again (read that somewhere also).

    Transmission Help

    Ammaco and dealerships are a rip off. I had transmission issues with my car when I first bought it and they both told me I needed a $4300 rebuild. Ammaco even told me they would charge me $450 just to drop it and diagnose the issue. $130 bucks later and some time to learn (3 days) my car has...

    Second guessing the decision.......................

    So yesterday a guy contacted me about purchasing my 2001 LS and came out to look at it. He came out and I explained the issues it had when I brought it and what I had done to fix it. Then I explained to him what I was going to do if I was to keep it which was the plugs, coils and possible...
